A team of Chinese scientists have developed a strategy utilising the energy between seawater and freshwater to efficiently generate “green’’ hydrogen.
Hydrogen, a clean energy, had emerged as a promising solution to reduce carbon emissions in the power sector and move toward a more sustainable future.
The support of frontier industries such as hydrogen power was outlined in the country’s government work report for 2024.
The researchers from Fudan University, fabricated a tandem of high-performance ion exchange membrane and electrode, installed at estuaries to harvest osmotic energy and drive hydrogen production.
The integrated device demonstrated a consistent and quick alkaline hydrogen evolution rate for more than 12 days under the artificial salinity gradient.
This is according to a study published recently in the journal Nature Sustainability.
The study presented a viable pathway for hydrogen production through renewable sources, said the researchers. (Xinhua/NAN)
