The researchers tested the catalysts with seawater drawn from Galveston Bay off the Texas coast. The work is described in an open-access paper in Nature Communications. Chlorine ions are especially problematic, in part because chlorine requires just slightly higher voltage to free than is needed to free hydrogen.
