According to wikipedia, electrolysis is currently around 65% efficient, with a theoretical cap somewhere around 90%. So this could help, but it's not going to be an order of magnitude improvement.
Also, storing large quantities of (I assume pressurized) gas has got to be expensive. The nice thing about liquids is that you can store them in a vat, or a dammed up canyon.
I didn't rtfa, its probably cool tech, but hardly a revolution. Good luck guys.
- pmorici 18y agoThat was my question too. I had always thought electrolysis was a non starter for large scale production because of the inefficiencies involved. Even th article seems to focus on how they invented non-toxic catalysts. It mentions nothing about improving the efficiency of the reaction.
