Obtaining hydrogen from water is one of those topics that attracts lots of attention from many fronts in chemistry; on paper, it can be clean, elegant, and deceptively simple. In practice, however, water is stubborn and breaking it apart requires catalysts, large energy inputs, or clever chemistry that juggles thermodynamics and kinetics. Among the many clever ideas proposed over the last decade, …
