Utilisation and valorisation of distillery whisky waste streams via biomass electrolysis: electrosynthesis of hydrogen

Abstract

Fuel-flexible hydrogen generation methods, such as electrochemical conversion of biomass, offer a route for sustainable production of hydrogen whilst valorising feedstocks that are often overlooked as waste products. This work...

“…However, there is still considerable potential for utilising this wastewater in the electrolysis process due to its high biomass content. 16,17 In recent years, a wide range of electrocatalytic materials have been developed for the H 2 evolution reaction (HER), but less research has been carried out on the development of materials for the water oxidation process. 18 To achieve successful green H 2 generation with minimal energy input, designing an efficient, low-cost, sustainable water oxidation catalyst is indispensable.…”
