RO Membranes Help Produce Hydrogen Fuel from Seawater
According to a group of scientists from Pennsylvania State University (Penn State), the power of the sun, sea, and wind may soon integrate to yield clean-burning hydrogen fuel.
The researchers combined water purification technology into a new proof-of-concept design for a seawater electrolyzer, which employs an electric current to separate the oxygen and hydrogen present in water molecules.
The new technique meant for “seawater splitting” could render it easier to convert solar and wind energy into a portable and storable fuel, according to Bruce Logan, Kappe Professor of Environmental Engineering, and Evan Pugh, University Professor.
