Finding natural $$\hbox {H}_{2}$$ generation zones in Midcontinent Rift in the U.S. by identifying the geophysical signatures of a serpentinization system [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports
Hydrogen is gaining attention as an energy source for its zero CO2 emission. Hydrogen may be manufactured by breaking down water using solar and wind energy. However, the high cost of manufactured hydrogen makes it uneconomical.

Serpentinization as the source of energy, electrons, organics, catalysts, nutrients and pH gradients for the origin of LUCA and life [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Serpentinization in hydrothermal vents is central to some autotrophic theories for the origin of life because it generates compartments, reductants, catalysts and gradients.

Serpentinization of mantle‐derived peridotites at mid‐ocean ridges: Mesh texture development in the context of tectonic exhumation

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2014
At slow spreading ridges, axial detachment faults exhume mantle‐derived peridotites and hydrothermal alteration causes serpentinization in a domain extending more than 1 km next to the fault.

Global rates of mantle serpentinization and H2 production at oceanic transform faults in 3‐D geodynamic models

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2017
Previous studies have estimated that mantle serpentinization reactions generate H2 at a rate of 1010–1012 mol/yr along the global mid‐ocean ridge (MOR) system.

Dataset for H2, CH4 and organic compounds formation during experimental serpentinization

open access: yesGeoscience Data Journal, 2021
Serpentinization refers to the alteration of ultramafic rocks that produces serpentines and secondary (hydr)oxides under hydrothermal conditions. Serpentinization can generate H2, which in turn can potentially reduce CO/CO2 and produce organic molecules ...

Thermodynamic Predictions of Hydrogen Generation during the Serpentinization of Harzburgite with Seawater-derived Brines

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Salty aqueous solutions (brines) occur on Earth and may be prevalent elsewhere. Serpentinization represents a family of geochemical reactions where the hydration of olivine-rich rocks can release aqueous hydrogen, H _2(aq) , as a byproduct, and hydrogen ...

Successive phases of serpentinization and carbonation recorded in the Sivas ophiolite (Turkey), from oceanic crust accretion to post-obduction alteration

open access: yesBSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2022
The ophiolite of Sivas (Turkey) was studied in order to define the chronology of different alteration events related to a series of serpentinization and carbonation episodes. Six samples were investigated, representative of different types of ophicalcite

δ60Ni and δ13C Composition of Serpentinites and Carbonates of the Tekirova Ophiolite, Turkey, and Meatiq Ophiolite, Egypt

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Nickel isotope fractionation patterns in continental ultramafic environments generally show a depletion of δ60Ni in weathered rocks and an enrichment in bedrock samples.

Observational constraints on the process and products of Martian serpentinization

open access: yes, 2023
The alteration of olivine-rich rocks to serpentine minerals, (hydr)oxides, and H2(aq) through serpentinization is long thought to have influenced the distribution of habitable environments on early Mars and the evolution of the early Martian hydrosphere ...
