The researchers tested the catalysts with seawater drawn from Galveston Bay off the Texas coast. The catalysts were integrated into a two-electrode alkaline electrolyzer, which can be powered by waste heat via a thermoelectric device or by an AA battery. The work is described in an open-access paper in Nature Communications.
