How To Make Hydrogen Directly From Seawater

March 23, 2023 | Leave a Comment

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… RMIT University researchers have developed a cheaper and more energy-efficient way to make hydrogen directly from seawater. In a critical step towards a truly viable green hydrogen industry the new method splits the seawater directly into hydrogen and oxygen. The new process skips the need for desalination and its associated cost, energy consumption and […]

Nanostructured Alloy For Better Lithium Ion Battery Anodes

February 17, 2021 | Leave a Comment

Oregon State University researchers have developed a battery anode based on a new nanostructured alloy that could revolutionize the way energy storage devices are designed and manufactured. The zinc- and manganese-based alloy further opens the door to replacing solvents commonly used in battery electrolytes with something much safer and inexpensive, as well as abundant: seawater. […]

The Ocean Could Be a Fuel Cell

November 25, 2014 | Leave a Comment

Scientists at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) in Korea and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany have developed a new energy conversion and storage system using seawater for the cathode in a fuel cell. We’ve seen that sodium can serve as an alternative to lithium in rechargeable batteries. That’s because the reversible […]

US Navy Making Hydrocarbon Fuel From Seawater

April 9, 2014 | 9 Comments

Navy researchers at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), Materials Science and Technology Division have demonstrated a proof-of-concept of a novel technology developed for the recovery of carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen (H2) from seawater and converting it to a liquid hydrocarbon fuel. The Navy’s research team demonstrated sustained flight of a radio-controlled (RC) P-51 […]
