Research teams at Chung-Ang University in South Korea and Qingdao University of Science and Technology have developed a breakthrough ruthenium nanocatalyst that can efficiently produce hydrogen from seawater while resisting corrosion from chloride ions. The catalyst addresses a major hurdle in hydrogen production: the dependence on freshwater in conventional electrolysis.
