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技术，利用丰富的海水替代稀缺的淡水作为原料，可持续生产氢气和含氯化学品。将发展基础科学，以解决成熟的纯净水电解和新兴的咸水地表水电解之间的知识差距。成果将包括复杂反应机理的新知识、新的电极材料设计以及海水电解的相关设备开发。该项目将极大有利于可再生能源的使用和大宗化学品的制造，同时减轻澳大利亚淡水短缺的压力。
