I wonder RE: Today's News Release!

On October 13, 2015 I posted (post #8555) on this board the following:

Seems like the PERFECT MARRIAGE to me! Graphene is an atomic monolayer impenetrable to gases etc. It is permeable to Hydrogen ion. So if you put a graphene sheet with water on one side, sprinkle HyperSolar nanoparticles in the water, cover with glass and point it at the sun to get Hydrogen ion. Put a circuit around it and Voila! a Fuel Cell producing its own Hydrogen and current! What else could one want?

After that post I sent Tim Young an email with this idea suggesting that HYSR could use such a technology as either a functioning fuel cell or a Hydrogen gas producer depending on how one implemented the electrodes. He wrote me back saying he would pass it onto their researchers (Tim is not a scientist). What is reported in the news release is precisely what I suggested, that is, if the membrane is graphene or any other semi-permeable membrane material that selectively passes Hydrogen ion, which it must do.

I have never thought that the nanoparticles alone would be able to generate sufficient H2 as the voltage required is just too high for a molecular catalyst to sustain. The news release seems to be saying via the statement that they will still work on the nanoparticles, meaning that they don't work well enough to commercialize yet.

It is clear that this is a shift to a technology that can be commercialized. It actually can be used for either H2 or FCEL with very little implementation difference and therefore could produce "revenue" on down the road. I hope that is what this news release is saying.
