Nanonets give rust a boost as agent in water splitting's hydrogen harvest ScienceDaily (Feb. 10, 2011) — Coating a lattice of tiny wires called Nanonets with iron oxide (rust) creates an economical and efficient platform for the process of water splitting -- an emerging clean fuel method that harvests hydrogen from water, Boston College researchers report in the online edition of the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
