Abstract

The energy-saving anode with low oxidization potential has been an intriguing pursue for earth-abundant seawater electrolysis. In this paper, we first introduced a superior energy-saving carbohydrazide oxidization reaction catalysis system in the anode section, which can be driven by commercial graphite paper with good durability. Combining this catalysis reaction and common graphite paper, the lowest anodic potentials 0.63 V (vs RHE) and 1.09 V (vs RHE) were obtained for driving a 10 mA/cm2 current density in alkali and near-neutral seawater electrolytes, respectively, outperforming all the as-reported alkali or near-neutral seawater catalysts accordingly to the best of our knowledge.
