A blueprint for solar-driven offshore chemical manufacturing

Caption

This conceptual illustration compares the conventional industrial pathway for methane chlorination with the photocatalytic route developed in this study. The design integrates solar-driven desalination and methane conversion by reusing concentrated brine as the chlorine source at a floating three-phase catalytic interface.
