science Researchers developed a Janus catalyst that converts seawater into hydrogen peroxide and active chlorine simultaneously. This innovation was achieved by a team from East China Normal University and The University of Queensland in the United States. The catalyst showed high efficiency, producing 9.34 mol g_cat⁻¹ h⁻¹ of H₂O₂ and 9.26 mol g_cat⁻¹ h⁻¹ of active chlorine in the Bohai Sea. This solves the problem where chloride ions usually poison catalysts in seawater electrolysis. This breakthrough opens a path for coastal regions to make chemicals locally and sustainably. 🧪
