Inexpensive Nanosheet Catalyst Splits Hydrogen From Water

An anonymous reader writes "Traditional methods of producing pure hydrogen are either extremely expensive or release lots of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Now, scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed an electrocatalyst that addresses one of these problems by generating hydrogen gas from water cleanly and with drastically more affordable materials. Goodbye platinum; hello nickel and ammonia."

Re:Will it work?

dunno about that. economically it makes sense, and has a similar amount of environmental concern surrounding it.

a frack is cheaper than a new nuke plant, and governments are more willing to sign off on one.
