Recently, scientists in Australia have conducted new research on seawater, which focuses on how water can be separated from seawater to produce hydrogen.
This research has also made some progress recently, with scientists in Australia inventing a catalyst that can separate water from seawater, and this catalyst is very cheap to manufacture and very easy to produce, and its manufacturing cost is only 2 Australian dollars.
This catalyst has a very good catalytic effect, and it can act on seawater, so that in a short period of time, one kilogram of hydrogen can be produced, which is already a very amazing effect, which will greatly reduce the cost of hydrogen manufacturing and production.
So how exactly is this catalyst manufactured?
And how can it have a very good catalytic effect on seawater?
The method of manufacturing the catalyst.
In fact, the manufacture of this catalyst is very simple, and the raw material that can be successfully manufactured is also very ordinary, and its main raw material is iron dioxide.
Iron dioxide is a very common oxidizing substance, its chemical formula is FeO2, the appearance of the device is black, the color of black comes from the five-coordination environment where the iron ions are located, its black color is mainly from the coordination environment and crystal field action, in our life, this substance is also very common, the black oxide on the magnet is mainly composed of iron dioxide.
Iron dioxide is one of the corrosive in an acidic environment, and it is very difficult to dissolve, but in the environment of hydrochloric acid, iron dioxide will dissolve, and two ions will be produced, one is Fe2+ and H2O and O2- combined, and the other is Fe(OC)6, it can be seen that iron dioxide will still change in the hydrochloric acid environment.
When the iron dioxide and hydrochloric acid react, we filter it out, and dry the filtered substance, so that we get this catalyst, and the color of the resulting catalyst is black.
After obtaining this catalyst, we add a certain amount of acetic acid, which can improve the dispersion performance of this catalyst, as well as its oxidation resistance, which will not oxidize due to oxygen in the air.
Acetic acid is added because acetic acid itself has a good protective effect, so this catalyst can catalyze seawater and play a very good catalytic effect?
The catalytic principle of catalysts.
This catalyst is highly catalytically active, and it can be used in seawater, which can easily separate the water in seawater, so that seawater can obtain a large amount of hydrogen.
Only one kilogram of this catalyst is needed to separate the water from the seawater, and it is also very fast, only 10 hours to obtain one kilogram of hydrogen.
Scientists in Australia found in the process of research that the price of iron dioxide is not very noble, and very common, only need to react with hydrochloric acid, can get this catalyst with a very good catalytic effect, scientists also carried out a series of experiments to verify its catalytic effect.
The experimental results show that the effect of this catalyst is very good among similar catalysts, and its price is very low, which has a very great effect on the production of hydrogen, and also has great significance.
Because the cost of raw materials for hydrogen production is very high and very expensive, the emergence of this catalyst can greatly reduce the production cost of hydrogen.
Moreover, the most common technologies for hydrogen production at present are mainly electrolysis, which converts electrical energy into chemical energy, hydrolyzes water or salt solution, decomposes it, and separates the hydrogen water in it to produce hydrogen.
Then this technology also has a big disadvantage, that is, the efficiency of energy use is not very high, after this technology uses energy, it can only be changed into chemical energy, which will cause a lot of waste.
Moreover, we cannot use some fossil fuels for a long time, which will aggravate the rate of warming on the earth, cause great damage to the ecological environment, and increase the damage to the atmosphere.
Then this catalyst can be well applied to the production of hydrogen, and the cost of raw materials is also very low, which can not only save energy and reduce emissions, but also greatly reduce the production cost of hydrogen.
This is undoubtedly a very good news, which can not only promote the development of science and technology, but also enable economic development, thus bringing certain convenience to all fields of our society.
Compared to other catalysts.
How does this catalyst manage to catalyze seawater?
This is because the surface of the catalyst is very active and its physical and chemical properties are very stable.
Because it is a non-metallic catalyst, this catalyst has very high activity and is very stable in many physical and chemical properties, so it can be used in seawater for catalysis.
Compared with other catalysts, although other catalysts work well in the catalysis of water, they are very poor in terms of physical and chemical stability, and there are catalysts such as metals and minerals, whose catalytic effect is not very good.
This catalyst is also very stable in terms of physical and chemical properties, so it can be applied in all aspects of life, and it can also be applied to various fields, which plays a great role in promoting science and technology and economy.
In terms of catalyst performance, the performance of this catalyst is very stable, and at the same time, the catalytic activity is still very high, so in terms of catalyst, the performance of this catalyst is the best, and there are no defects in this regard.
At the same time, this catalyst also has a great advantage, that is, it is very low manufacturing cost, so in terms of economy, it is also the best.
Compared with other catalysts, this catalyst is undoubtedly very good and can play a very good role in all aspects.
epilogue
From the design and manufacture of the catalyst to its final catalytic effect, the initial idea was to catalyze the decomposition of water, which was based on the in-depth research of scientists, including the physical and chemical properties of the catalyst.
Without the study of this series of properties, it is difficult for us to know what the catalytic effect of this catalyst is, this is only in the study of this catalyst, there is a deeper study, which also makes us look forward to science more.
