Solar cell directly splits water for hydrogen from PhysOrg.com
Plants trees and algae do it. Even some bacteria and moss do it, but scientists have had a difficult time developing methods to turn sunlight into useful fuel. Now, Penn State researchers have a proof-of-concept device that can split water and produce recoverable hydrogen.
The guys over at Penn State have sure outdone themselves this time.
The only questions I might ask are,
"How long will it take for this technology to mature?" (It matters)
"How much money would the development of this iridium technology cost?"
"Who would fund it?"
With any luck in monumental, groundbreaking scientific breakthroughs, we'll be zipping around in hydrogen cars in no time.
