A sodium-ion-conducted asymmetric electrolyzer to lower the operation voltage for direct seawater electrolysis

Abstract Hydrogen produced from neutral seawater electrolysis faces many challenges including high energy consumption, the corrosion/side reactions caused by Cl-, and the blockage of active sites by Ca2+/Mg2+ precipitates. Herein, we design a pH-asymmetric electrolyzer with a Na+ exchange membrane f...
