He added that quick, inexpensive production is highly significant for commercialization. Ren’s team of researchers and others have earlier reported a nickel-iron-(oxy)hydroxide compound as a catalyst to disintegrate seawater. However, generating the material demanded a long process at temperatures ranging between 300 °C and 600 °C, or as high as 1,100 °F. Due to the high energy cost, it was not viable for commercial use, and the high temperatures deteriorated the mechanical and structural integrity of the nickel foam, which made long-term stability a concern, stated Ren, who is also an M...

Date Time New Catalyst Moves Seawater Desalination, Hydrogen Production Closer to Commercialization A team of researchers led by Zhifeng Ren, director of the Texas Center for Superconductivity at UH, has reported an oxygen evolving catalyst that takes just minutes to grow at room temperature and is capable of efficiently producing both clean drinking water and hydrogen from seawater. Seawater makes up about 96% of all water on earth, making it a tempting resource to meet the world’s growing need for clean drinking water and carbon-free energy. And scientists already have the technical abili...
