Direct generation of hydrogen from seawater

Sujet

Direct generation of hydrogen from seawater

Descriptif du sujet

Important attention is currently paid to hydrogen as a vector of green energy. It can be generated from various sources using different technologies. One of the routes for obtaining green hydrogen is direct electrolysis of water, which is itself a rare resource mainly in areas that suffer from water scarcity.

One of the alternatives is the use of seawater, but this poses several challenges and drawbacks due mainly to the presence of salt.

The objective of the thesis is to generate green hydrogen by a new process using directly seawater without the step of water desalination.

The proposed project includes different areas such as mechanical engineering, Computational Fluid Dynamics, processing and 3D printing.
