right, but using a AAA battery which is already storing energy doesn't serve any purpose.
But I agree with you, efficient-cheap catalyst is needed indeed. I'd like to know the efficiency of the system though...
- petersellers 12y agoUsing a AAA battery demonstrates that the process can be done using low voltage.
- alex_duf 12y agoooh, alright, now it makes sense to me. Thanks.
- kazinator 12y agoEven if we imagine ourselves in a crazy world in which banks of actual AAA batteries are used for water splitting (not only to demonstrate the low voltage) there can still be an advantage. A cylinder full of compressed hydrogen weighs less than a trunk full of AAA batteries, which cuts into economy. The clunky bank of AAA batteries can be stationary in some water-splitting plant, whereas the hydrogen is light and portable.
