Recently, Professor Yu Ying's research team from the College of Physical Science and Technology of Íæż½ã½ã, in collaboration with Professor Li Liping from Jilin University and Professor Yu Jaguo from China University of Geosciences, Wuhan, has made great progress in large-current electrolysis of seawater for hydrogen production. Relevant research was published in Energy & Environmental Science, a top international journal in the field of energy and environment. This is another remarkable achievement of Professor Yu, following his previous important research in the field of electrolytic water/seawater. The first author of the paper is Huang Chuqiang, a PhD student in the College of Physical Science and Technology.
Reasonable design of electrocatalysts with rapid self-reconstruction for efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) under commercially demanded current density is highly desired, but really challenging. However, the team overcome relevant problemsvia a simple two-step oxidation strategy for efficient and stable large-current-density water/seawater oxidation. Their work reveals a new efficient way torealizerapid self-reconstructing, highefficiency and stabilityof water/seawater electrolysis catalyst and also promotes the industrial application of water/seawater electrolysis.
