Renewable hydrogen could transform industry and global value chains. This Perspective examines fuel-switching, relocation, and hybrid pathways, highlighting geoeconomic, environmental, and equity implications for a just hydrogen transition.
Direct seawater electrolysis may enable hydrogen production using ocean water and offshore renewables. This Perspective highlights scaling approaches and challenges in catalysts, membranes, and system design needed for industrial-scale operation.
Atmospheric water harvesting can capture moisture, but can be energy intensive. This Review highlights low-energy alternatives like vibrational desorption and responsive materials to boost efficiency and enable scalable water production.
Nature Reviews Clean Technology, Published online: 08 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s44359-026-00178-xSurface coatings for active materials stabilize the electrode–electrolyte interface and mitigate battery degradation, but their effectiveness and scalability vary across materials and deposition methods. This Review discusses the trade-offs of wet-chemical, gas-phase, solid-state and emerging coating technologies.

Large-scale use of renewable hydrogen in industry could affect the geography of production. This Perspective examines factors related to the production of renewable hydrogen and the potential changes in industrial production.
Direct seawater electrolysis could enable hydrogen production using abundant seawater and offshore renewables, but its deployment is limited by the complex and variable composition and dynamic of seawater. This Perspective discusses scaling challenges through four key strategies: catalyst engineering, asymmetric electrolysis, aperture screening and phase-transition migration.
