Seawater holds enormous potential for green hydrogen production, but realizing that potential remains far from straightforward. Direct seawater electrolysis can damage electrodes, whereas conventional freshwater electrolysis loses much of its energy as low-grade waste heat. Researchers have now found a way to harness this otherwise wasted heat, using it to desalinate seawater and produce fresh water alongside hydrogen.
