MIT Scientist Creates New Catalysts To Convert Hydrogen From Solar (power, chemistry)

[Six Foot Three]

This looks interesting as i was reading on MIT Technology Review about a scientist at MIT who created a Catalyst that can easily convert Hydrogen from Sunshine and then store the Hydrogen to run the Grid after Sunset so we get Solar Power in the daytime and Hydrogen at Nite time and on Cloudy days. He got the idea from Plants that use Photosynthesis to cr eate enertgy from the Sun.

He does have some critics on it but if this could become reality tghis would really help solve some of the energy problems we have. Added bonus it also splits Seawater as to create Fresh Water for the planet.

Technology Review: Sun + Water = Fuel

cool!

I was thinking about this the other day, and was wondering if we could get it from sea water, and if so, how quickly something like this could be operational.

and, could it be done from a private home...
