Korean researchers unveil new discovery to improve high-purity hydrogen production

Scientists at the National Korea Maritime & Ocean University have designed an anti-biofoulding PEM, and a 2D nanomaterial-based PEM, for efficient hydrogen production.

The group confirmed their discovery yesterday (18th March), stating that it improves the production of highly pure hydrogen.

“If high-performance 2D nanomaterial-based membranes with robust anti-biofouling properties are commercialised, hydrogen production can become easier and more cost-effective,” Dr. Kyu-Jung Chae, who led the university project, said.

To develop the membrane, the scientists focused on silver nanoparticles (AgNP), which are known for anti-fouling properties. Using AgNP renders the membrane a hydrophobic nature, moreover, immobilising AgNP onto the membrane is a complex process.
