Revolutionary ‘Super Steel’ produces green hydrogen directly from seawater
- Researchers at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) have developed stainless steel for hydrogen (SS-H2), a material that produces green hydrogen directly from seawater more efficiently and eco-friendly than with titanium electrodes.
- The group's "sequential dual-passivation" technique combines chromium- and manganese-based protective layers, giving SS-H2 corrosion resistance and making it ideal for use in water electrolysis systems.
- Green hydrogen produced by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen with clean power is essential to reducing carbon emissions.
- By addressing the challenges of cost and corrosion resistance, the team says SS-H2 offers an eco-friendlier and more cost-effective electrode choice for producing "green" hydrogen from seawater.
- A standard 10 MW proton exchange membrane electrolysis system, costing HKD 17.8 million ($2.3 million), could see material expenses reduced by up to 40 times with SS-H2, resulting in more accessible, industrial green hydrogen production.
- SS-H2 steel can also be used to create fertilisers, fuels, and other industrial products.
- The manganese-based layer on top of the chromium layer protects SS-H2 from corrosion even in saltwater environments, making it ideal for marine structures.
- The team used MXene interfacial architecture to create the graphene oxide ologomer-Ti3C2Tx composite membranes, which provide 80% removal of ciprofloxacin and 56.6% removal of arsenic.
- It has been noted that application of the complex can improve the performance of wastewater treatment systems, including those in urban areas where removal of micropollutants is a major concern.
- SS-H2 surpasses the performance of traditional stainless steel in chloride-rich environments at ultra-high potentials of up to 1,700 mV.

Why the pursuit of green hydrogen is chasing a chimera
- The Government of India has approved financial support to 8 companies for setting up 1.5 GW of electrolyser capacity and to 10 companies for producing 4,12,000 tonnes of green hydrogen.
- However, producing renewable hydrogen is currently more expensive than fossil-based production, and it is not expected to be cost-competitive until after 2050.
- The government's subsidies cover only a small fraction of the cost gap, and significant financial support would be needed until cost parity is reached.
- The pursuit of green hydrogen is currently chasing a chimera, and a revised timeline and realistic level of ambition are needed.

Stainless ‘Super Steel’ revolutionizes green hydrogen production from seawater
- A new stainless steel technology called SS-H2, developed at the University of Hong Kong, represents a major leap in creating cost-effective and corrosion-resistant materials for water electrolysis systems. It provides a sustainable and economically viable solution for producing green hydrogen which could transform green hydrogen production and advance the global transition to clean energy.
- The high cost and material limitations of current electrolysis systems have hindered widespread adoption of green hydrogen, produced by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable electricity. Structural components in these systems, often made from gold- or platinum-coated titanium, contribute significantly to expenses.
- SS-H2 offers comparable corrosion resistance to titanium at a fraction of the cost and could cut material expenses by up to 40 times for a standard 10-megawatt proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis system, positioned as a game-changer for industrial hydrogen production.
- The material can withstand chloride-rich conditions at ultra-high potentials of up to 1700 millivolts, even in saltwater environments, opening new possibilities for producing green hydrogen directly from seawater. The material's dual-passivation layers provide unprecedented resistance to corrosion, ensuring durability in harsh environments, reducing maintenance costs, and enhancing the overall efficiency of hydrogen production systems.
- The use of green hydrogen, enabled by cost-effective materials like SS-H2, spans several industrial applications, including ammonia production, oil refining, steelmaking, and methanol production, all supporting cleaner transportation and power generation.
- SS-H2 breaks through limitations in stainless steel's corrosion resistance, long reliant on chromium, with its dual-layer passivation mechanism. This achievement highlights the transformative potential of material science in addressing urgent global challenges.
- Professor Huang's team's dedication highlights the importance of scientific exploration, challenging established knowledge and pursuing unconventional ideas, propelling humanity toward a cleaner, greener future.
- The transition of SS-H2 from laboratory to industry is underway, with tons of material already produced. Large-scale applications aim to drive down costs and emissions, paving the way for a sustainable energy future.
- Companies such as Shell, Linde, and Bloom Energy are already integrating green hydrogen into their operations, and as industries adopt this innovative stainless steel, the potential to drive down costs and emissions grows, paving the way for a sustainable energy future.
