“…10,11 Therefore, to overcome these existing obstacles, various strategies have been identified that involve the rational designing of the robust electrocatalyst, which can withstand the corrosive environment of the seawater along with an impressive performance. 12,13 In fact, nowadays, another evolving strategy such as electrolyte engineering by adding special additives into seawater is grabbing much attention due to their ability in protecting electrodes from corrosive CER/BER reactions. 14 Further, the existence of various dissolved ions such as Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ , along with other small particulates such as bacteria and microbes, can additionally hinder the seawater electrolysis process by electrode poisoning, especially at the cathode, thereby blocking the electroactive sites, impairing the durability of the electrocatalyst.…”
