Electrochemical seawater splitting is a sustainable approach for hydrogen production and carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) sequestration, producing hydrogen gas at the cathode and oxygen or chlorine gas at the anode.

These precipitates are often dismissed as energy-intensive byproducts. However, they have untapped potential as resources for construction, manufacturing, and environmental remediation. Here, a comprehensive experimental investigation is presented into the electrochemical precipitation of minerals in seawater under varying operational conditions. By systematically varying applied voltage, current density, and CO<sub>2</sub> flow rate, the conditions that optimize mineral yield and selectivity while minimizing energy consumption are revealed.
