Feb. 14 (UPI) —<\/span> Researchers at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, have developed a new method to extract hydrogen from seawater without desalination. The advance could help simplify the process of obtaining hydrogen for renewable energy.<\/p>\n

“Hydrogen is emerging as an alternative clean fuel; however, its dependance on freshwater will be a threat to a sustainable environment,” researchers said in a paper<\/a> detailing the new methodology.\n<\/p>\n

Seawater is far more abundant than freshwater, but the process of extracting hydrogen from it has a number of drawbacks.<\/p>\n

Current methods for extraction hydrogen from seawater produce a large amount of chlorine as a by-product, and require significant energy consumption. The process developed by the Materials for Clean Energy and Environment research group at RIMIT University directly splits seawater into hydrogen and oxygen.\n<\/p>\n

To overcome the problems associated with hydrogen extraction from seawater, researchers introduced “a unique catalyst composed of pours sheets of nitrogen-doped NiMo3P (N-NiMo3P).”<\/p>\n

“The presence of metal-nitrogen bonds and surface polyanions increases the stability and improves anti-corrosive properties against chlorine chemistry,” researchers said.<\/p>\n

“Our process not only omits carbon dioxide, but also has no chlorine production,” lead researcher Nasir Mahmoud said.\n<\/p>\n

“Almost all the world’s hydrogen currently comes from fossil fuels, and its production is responsible for around 830 million ton of carbon dioxide a year,” the team said in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Emissions-free ‘green’ hydrogen, made by slitting water, is so expensive that it is generally unavailable commercially and accounts for just 1% of total hydrogen production globally,” the statement said.<\/p>\n

Researchers say the the process could greatly reduce the cost of hydrogen extraction, and they are preparing to develop prototypes of their electrolyzer.\n<\/p>\n
