Now scientists have developed a low-cost, emissions-free device that uses an ordinary AAA battery to produce hydrogen by water electrolysis. Unlike other water splitters that use precious-metal catalysts, the electrodes in this device are made of inexpensive and abundant nickel and iron. [I view this as fantastically major; we will run on hydrogen if we are to continue as a species. It can be produced from renewable sources of any sort. H2 is not an "energy source" but it is THE energy carrier for anything we do today.] |
