Researchers transform polluted water into fuel with urea removal | WPI researchers are turning the tide on water pollution. Their material efficiently removes urea and holds the key to turning it into clean hydrogen fuel.
WPI's latest study introduces a material that not only rids water of harmful urea but also opens doors to sustainable hydrogen production.
Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) researchers have taken a significant step towards this vision by developing a material that removes urea from water and has the potential to convert it into hydrogen gas. The study, led by Xiaowei Teng, the James H. Manning professor of Chemical Engineering at WPI, unveils a promising solution to a longstanding challenge in urea electrolysis. Agricultural runoff and wastewater discharge rich in urea contribute to harmful algal blooms and hypoxic dead zones, adversely affecting aquatic environments and human health.
