About

The innovative technology developed should overcome limitations of direct electrolysis of seawater addressing among others the stabilisation of pH fluctuations, physical blockages from solid impurities, precipitates and microbial contamination, materials and components corrosion, low activity, selectivity, and durability (together with the relevant recycling and reuse strategies) of the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) and Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER) catalysts. It should also propose innovative materials/components structures/compositions and membrane/ionomer (when applies) to reach effective high-performing and corrosion-resistant, and thus durable, seawater electrolysis systems. The proof of concept of the innovative technology should enable direct electrochemical seawater splitting as well as brine use for energy efficient hydrogen production contributing to the overall objectives of the Clean Hydrogen JU SRIA
