This project aims at sustainable production of hydrogen and chlorine-containing chemicals via development of revolutionary electrocatalysis that uses abundant seawater to replace scarce freshwater as feedstock. Fundamental science will be developed for addressing the knowledge gap between well-developed purified water electrolysis and emerging saline surface water electrolysis. Outcomes will include new knowledge of complex reaction mechanism(s), new electrode materials design, and relative device development for seawater electrolysis. This project will significantly benefit renewable energy use and commodity-chemicals manufacturing, together with reducing pressure on Australia's freshwater scarcity.

该项目旨在通过开发革命性的电催化性，利用丰富的海水代替稀缺的淡水作为原料，旨在可持续生产含氢和氯的化学物质。将开发基本科学，以解决发达的纯净水电解与新兴盐水地表水电解之间的知识差距。结果将包括有关复杂反应机理的新知识，新电极材料设计以及海水电解的相对装置开发。该项目将显着受益于可再生能源使用和商品化学制造，并减轻澳大利亚淡水稀缺性的压力。
