Electrochemical Oxidation of Seawater for Renewable Energy Generation and Storage in Coastal Areas

Abstract

In this work, we demonstrated how the Clean Sustainable Electrochemical Treatment process can be used to process seawater while simultaneously generating molecular hydrogen. The specific goal of this project is to (1) demonstrate selective removal of chemical oxygen demand over the oxygen and chlorine evolution reactions, (2) optimize electrode composition to improve electrochemical performance, and (3) demonstrate long-term (>100 h) stability experiments.
