ECNS...Chinese scientists have found a cheaper way to produce hydrogen energy by developing a new catalyst.
The catalyst was developed by scientists from the University of Science and Technology of China, who used an alloy to improve the activity and stability of a kind of precious metal catalyst.
The new catalyst can greatly cut the cost of hydrogen production through electrolysis of water compared with Iridium dioxide, a catalyst that is widely used in production, according to the researchers.
As a clean energy, hydrogen has huge potential in industries including new energy vehicles and electricity generation.
The research on the catalyst provides a new direction for other similar scientific issues, said Wu Yuen, head of the research team.

There's a thermodynamics lesson in there somewhere.
The bulk of that energy is going to come from petroleum or from radioactive materials. They haven't figured the big one out yet. Or if they have, they ain't telling us.

They are tied with Africans as being the least inventive people in the world.
