«Nature Chemistry,» publish the idea from Professor Lee Cronin and Mark Symes of Glasgow University in a paper called, «Decoupling Hydrogen and Oxygen Evolution During
Electrolytic Water Splitting Using a Proton - Coupled Electron Buffer.»

Many of us are familiar with
electrolytic splitting of
water from their school days: if you hold two electrodes into an aqueous electrolyte and apply a sufficient voltage, gas bubbles of hydrogen and oxygen are formed.
Since then, SRNL has developed process models and TEAs at various levels of detail for a variety of high - temperature
water -
splitting technologies, including thermochemical, hybrid, and
electrolytic processes, and using solar as well as nuclear heat sources.
Once hydrogen production is converted to a non-fossil source (probably
electrolytic or thermochemical
splitting of
water, powered by nuclear energy) and all industrial hydrogen (for things like the Haber Process) sourced thus, it would probably be better to synthesize hydrocarbon fuels (either methanol, or Fischer - Tropsch petrol or diesel) than attempt to use hydrogen directly.
