Stanford researchers develop new electrolysis system to split seawater into hydrogen and oxygen

Green Car Congress

Hongjie Dai and his research lab at Stanford University have developed a prototype that can generate hydrogen fuel from seawater. However, grid-scale freshwater electrolysis would put a heavy strain on vital water resources. Image credit: Courtesy of H. Dai, Yun Kuang, Michael Kenney). to 1 A/cm 2 ) over 1,000 h. —Hongjie Dai.
