Energy poor countries will leap to make hydrogen for energy with this new catalyst, IMHO. My question is what is the most efficient way to transform the direct current from photovoltaic systems, i.e. rechargable batteries, ultracapacitors like EESTOR or making hydrogen gas?

Thanks for the ping.

First, if you break water into oxygen and hydrogen, does that destroy water?

Second, does a fuel cell burn the oxygen and hydrogen to produce the energy that runs some kind of generator?

Another question: the article mentions the need for electrodes of cobalt and platinum.

Aren’t those exhaustible in supply?
