Scientists found a new way of cost-effective electrolysis that can turn seawater into hydrogen fuel, an alternative to fossil fuels.
Stanford University scientists have experimented on generating hydrogen fuel through the use of solar power, electrodes, and seawater from San Francisco Bay.
Hydrogen fuel from purified water is costly to produce so the team led by Hongjie Dai, a chemistry professor in Stanford's School of Humanities and Sciences, developed a prototype device that can definitely separate hydrogen and oxygen from saltwater without corroding the device used for water-splitting.
The hydrogen generated from this process can be turned into fuel cells to power electric vehicles. This process also creates breathable oxygen for divers.
