A Better Way to Get Hydrogen from Water

Posted June 19, 2012 12:43 PM

From Technology Review RSS Feeds:

Caltech researchers demonstrate a clean technique for using heat and catalysts to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. An experimental approach to splitting water might lead to a relatively cheap and clean method for large-scale hydrogen production that doesn't require fossil fuels. The process splits water into hydrogen and oxygen using heat and catalysts made from inexpensive materials.

And you only have to heat the water up to 850 degC. I love basic research, but claiming this is a better way to produce hydrogen doesn't jive with the reality.
