'Major discovery' from MIT primed to unleash solar revolution

[robkelk]

Is this particularly useful?
It talks about it being a new process to revolutionize fuel cells, but they describe the chemical process as having free oxygen as a result, not free hydrogen.

Consider that water is made of hydrogen and oxygen. You can split it to gather hydrogen and have oxygen left over, or you can split it to gather oxygen and have hydrogen left over, or you can collect both gasses. The semantics don't matter so much in such a simple case.

My question is, how is this process different from simple electrolysis?
