No word on how efficient it is but it is good to see so many breakthroughs. University of NSW scientists have developed a cheap and efficient electrode for splitting water which has the potential to be scaled up for industrial production of the clean energy fuel, hydrogen. The technology is based on an inexpensive, specially coated foam material which lets the bubbles of oxygen escape quickly. “Our electrode is the most efficient oxygen-producing electrode in alkaline electrolytes reported to date, to the best of our knowledge,” says Associate Professor Chuan Zhao, of the UNSW School of Chemistry. “It is inexpensive, sturdy and simple to make, and can potentially be scaled up for industrial application of water splitting.” Australian scientists have found a cheap way to create hydrogen for clean fuel | Business Insider
