Shizhang Qiao, chemical engineer at the University of Adelaide, has explained: “We have split natural seawater into oxygen and hydrogen with nearly 100 percent efficiency, to produce green hydrogen by electrolysis, using a non-precious and cheap catalyst in a commercial electrolyzer.” If, in contrast, freshwater is used in conventional electrolyzers with their far more expensive catalysts made of platinum and iridium, hardly any less hydrogen is produced, expressed Yao Zheng, an assistant professor in materials science.
