Seawater electrolysis is gaining recognition as a promising method for hydrogen production. However, severe anode corrosion caused by the high concentration of chloride ions (Cl) poses a challenge for the long-term oxygen evolution reaction. Herein, an anti-corrosion strategy of oxalate anions intercalation in NiFe layered double hydroxide on nickel foam (NiFe-CO LDH/NF) is proposed. The intercalation of these highly negatively charged CO serves to establish electrostatic repulsion and impede Cl adsorption. In alkaline seawater, NiFe-CO LDH/NF requires an overpotential of 337 mV to gain the large current density of 1000 mA cm and operates continuously for 500 h. The intercalation of CO is demonstrated to significantly boost the activity and stability of NiFe LDH-based materials during alkaline seawater oxidation.

Electrolysis of seawater for hydrogen (H) production to harvest clean energy is an appealing approach. In this context, there is an urgent need for catalysts with high activity and durability. RuO electrocatalysts have shown efficient activity in the hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER), but they still suffer from poor stability.

Herein, a novel liquid nitrogen quenching treatment is proposed to achieve multifaceted modulation involving morphological modulation, lattice tensile strain modulation, metal active centre coordination reconstruction and grain boundary construction within a series of intermetallic compounds modified on a carbon substrate (CoFe-550/C, CoNi-550/C and FeNi-550/C, where 550 refers to liquid nitrogen quenching temperature and C refers to the carbon substrate). Noteworthily, the optimising intermediate absorption/desorption process is achieved by multifaceted modulation. Consequently, CoFe-550/C, CoNi-550/C and FeNi-550/C demonstrate considerable overpotential for hydrogen evolution reaction (59.

The Asian icefish, Protosalanx chinensis, has undergone extensive colonization in various waters across China for decades due to its ecological and physiological significance as well as its economic importance in the fishery resource. Here, we decoded a telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome for P. chinensis combining PacBio HiFi long reads and ultra-long ONT (nanopore) reads and Hi-C data.

Membrane-assisted direct seawater splitting (DSS) technologies are actively studied as a promising route to produce green hydrogen (H2), whereas the indispensable use of supporting electrolytes that help to extract water and provide electrochemically-accelerated reaction media results in a severe energy penalty, consuming up to 12.5% of energy input when using a typical KOH electrolyte. We bypass this issue by designing a zero-gap electrolyzer configuration based on the integration of cation exchange membrane and bipolar membrane assemblies, which protects stable DSS operation against the precipitates and corrosion in the absence of additional supporting electrolytes.
