Gold Medal and Semi Grand Prix, Silicon Valley International Invention Festival (2024)

SVIIF works to publicize state-of-the-art inventions around the world and provides a unique opportunity for inventors to not only commercialize their inventions but also the American market in the heart of the Silicon Valley.

Project Name: Solar-Electrocatalytic System for Hydrogen Generation from Seawater

Brief Intro: The team engineers the 3D porous micro-nanostructure surface, e.g., nickel foam, to perform solar-driven seawater evaporation to freshwater and solar-driven electrocatalytic hydrogen production from the pre-evaporated seawater. This enables largescale deployment for eco-friendly and low-cost solar-driven hydrogen fuel production from local seawater.
