Mantle peridotite based-activated carbon nanosheet:catalyst for cathode oxygen reduction of seawater to generate hydrogen (H) when exposed to sunlight using the photocatalytic water splitting

Abstract

The mantle peridotite based-activated carbon nanosheet is a catalyst for cathode oxygen reduction of seawater to generate hydrogen when exposed to sunlight (photocatalytic water splitting). The catalyst is placed in the top surface of seawater and when exposed to sunlight begins to generate hydrogen (H.sup.+). The catalyst mantle peridotite based-activated carbon nanosheet and the sunlight combine generate electricity, mix with seawater splits the seawater significantly generates hydrogen (H.sup.+) from the seawater. The hydrogen is collected and stored in the cathode. From the cathode the collected gas is transferred to the hydrogen storage tank.

Claims

1. The present invention discloses an abundant source of hydrogen(H) that uses the photocatalytic water splitting with a catalyst for cathode oxygen reduction of seawater to generate hydrogen when exposed to sunlight.

2. Mantle peridotite based-activated carbon nanosheet is the catalyst for the photocatalytic water splitting.

3. The invention claims the technical and structural made up of the cathode tube storage that is equipped with Watlow's PM Plus temperature controller with remote control for easy temperature set-up. The PM Plus temperature connectivity uses the E-Z link mobile app for remote access.
