  but in-fact it can be used in very minute level in mg's, in which production cost is not going to be big wen compared to its Ultimate USE as co-catalysts.

  Alternative is: Now a team led by Daniel Nocera, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has found a catalyst that uses cheap, abundant metals - cobalt and phosphorus - and works at an environmentally friendly neutral pH to release oxygen from water. Nocera says the system is not only far cheaper than platinum, but also an improvement on photosynthetic complexes in plants: 'We'll go beyond photosynthesis, because this catalyst you can just make in a glass of water.'

  Does someone have some information about this technology from Prof Nocera. I have seen photos and explications, but no numbers ofr conversion efficiency or hydorgen yiled?
