Perfectlight Technology and Nanjing University jointly developed a demonstration system for solar seawater hydrogen production, which was showcased during a technology forum held at Nanjing University on June 20-21.
China Academy of Sciences Academician and Director of the Environmental Materials and Renewable Energy Research Center at Nanjing University, Zou Zhigang, personally explains the solar seawater hydrogen production system
The solar seawater hydrogen production demonstration system uses clean solar energy to convert the Earth's most abundant seawater resources into "green hydrogen" without the need for direct desalination of seawater.
The core of this system comprises a reactor, circulation system, photovoltaic system, and other organic combinations, creating a direct solar seawater hydrogen production demonstration system. It can operate in both photovoltaic catalysis mode and directly electrolyze seawater under solar cell drive, with a maximum hydrogen production rate of up to 22 L/h.
The entire system aims to use clean and pollution-free solar energy to decompose seawater for hydrogen production. It converts solar energy into green electricity using photovoltaic modules, which powers the photovoltaic hydrogen production system to decompose seawater, collecting the generated hydrogen and oxygen separately.
The solar seawater hydrogen production demonstration system is equipped with a battery to store excess electricity generated by photovoltaic power generation.
