Motivation:
- With focus on Green H2, Electrolysis of ultrapure water to produce H2 will become prominent. With scarcity of clean water, providing ultrapure water will be difficult. Low grade and saline water is largely abundant and if it can replace ultra-pure water in electrolyser, considerable saving can be accrued.
Salient Features:
- Development of efficient and stable catalytic electrode material to withstand sea/hard water.
- The electrolyser design should be able to deal with complications related to membrane function, reactor degradation and biofouling
Benefits:
- Cost effective Hydrogen production by electrolysis using sea/hard water.
- Saving of precious DM Water
