An Earth‐Abundant Catalyst‐Based Seawater Photoelectrolysis System with 17.9% Solar‐to‐Hydrogen Efficiency
Abstract
The implementation of water splitting systems, powered by sustainable energy resources, appears to be an attractive strategy for producing high‐purity H 2 in the absence of the release of carbon dioxide (CO 2). However, the high cost, impractical operating conditions, and unsatisfactory efficiency and stability of conventional methods restrain their large‐scale development. Seawater covers 70% of the Earth's surface and is one of the most abundant natural resources on the planet. New research is looking into the possibility of using seawater to produce hydrogen through electrolysis and will provide remarkable insight into sustainable H 2 production, if successful. Here, guided by density functional theory (DFT) calculations to predict the selectivity of gas‐evolving catalysts, a seawater‐splitting device equipped with affordable state‐of‐the‐art electrocatalysts composed of earth‐abundant elements (Fe, Co, Ni, and Mo) is demonstrated. This device shows excellent durability and specific selectivity toward the oxygen evolution reaction in seawater with near 100% Faradaic efficiency for the production of H 2 and O 2. Powered by a single commercial III–V triple‐junction photovoltaic cell, the integrated system achieves spontaneous and efficient generation of high‐purity H 2 and O 2 from seawater at neutral pH with a remarkable 17.9% solar‐to‐hydrogen efficiency.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
