The final touch before commercialization news would be the high voltage announcement. Today's breakthrough is nothing short of an important milestone in their pursuit ,in a way, as important as 1.5v. I think it addresses/alleviates the very important shortcoming as mentioned in the below article. Now only thing left is achieving 1.5volts.

But the system is risky, says Turner, because it produces oxygen along with the hydrogen. “If you're talking about 100 square miles of baggies in the desert with this explosive mixture,” he says, “one lightning bolt and you have a disaster.” HyperSolar researchers are exploring several ways to eliminate that danger. One is to use a system that separates the gases into two bags, says Syed Mubeen, a postdoc at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and lead scientist at the company. Another is to run the system using waste water rather than pure water, so that the oxygen reacts with organic impurities and degrades them into valuable chemicals. This approach “completely removes oxygen out of the equation”, says Mubeen. As with JCAP's stable photoanode, HyperSolar's photoabsorber is protected by a coating.
