Existing water-splitting methods rely on highly purified water—a precious resource and costly to produce. 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.
