From seawater to hydrogen via direct photocatalytic vapor splitting:A review on device design and system integration

扫码查看
Solar-driven hydrogen production from seawater attracts great interest for its emerging role in decarbonizing global energy consumption.Given the complexity of natural seawater content,photocatalytic vapor splitting offers a low-cost and safe solution,but with a very low solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency.With a focus on cutting-edge photothermal-photocatalytic device design and system integration,the recent research advances on vapor splitting from seawater,as well as industrial implementations in the past decades were reviewed.In addition,the design strategies of the key processes were reviewed,including vapor temperature and pressure control during solar thermal vapor generation from seawater,capillary-fed vaporization with salt repellent,and direct photocatalytic vapor splitting for hydrogen production.Moreover,the existing laboratory-scale and industrial-scale systems,and the integration principles and remaining challenges in the future seawater-to-hydrogen technology were discussed.
