University of Bayreuth researchers develop new way to produce green hydrogen from seawater

In Germany, an international research team led by the University of Bayreuth has developed an innovative method for producing green hydrogen directly from seawater – without the use of additional reagents. The researchers report their groundbreaking findings in the prestigious Journal of the American Chemical Society.

The development of this innovative photocatalyst marks a significant step towards a sustainable energy future. By enabling clean hydrogen production directly from seawater using sunlight, it contributes to the transition to sustainable, carbon-free energy systems and reduces dependence on fossil fuels.
