Researchers devise seawater-resilient bipolar membrane electrolyzer for turning seawater into hydrogen

Green Car Congress

The design proved successful in generating hydrogen gas without producing large amounts of harmful byproducts. A representation of the team’s bipolar membrane system that converts seawater into hydrogen gas. The results of their study, published in Joule , could help advance efforts to produce low-carbon fuels.
