Harvesting chlorine from seawater through electrocatalysis

The production of pharmaceuticals and disinfection goods relies on the availability of chlorine. In a recent Nature Communications article, Liu et al. report on the electrosynthesis of chlorine from seawater-like solutions through a stable and selective Ru-based single-atom catalyst with low overpotential.
