The non-scientist say “ the team managed to split the water molecules to release 14 times more hydrogen compared with standard electrolysis techniques”.
Not the same thing. What electrical output? Electrolysis is endergonic ( requires energy, doesn’t release it.)
Maybe she meant, “this process requires 14x higher input energy”. Which begs the question, where did the energy go?
“Show me the free hydrogen”. And by the way, net energy efficiency after separation from the oxygen.
The simplest number to understand would be the price of 1kg of hydrogen extracted using the new method.
No price mentioned, difficult to assess their achievement.
