A new composite material coupled with an organic based bacteria could act as a catalyst for hydrogen fuel technologies. Typically something like platinum (which is still a rather rare and expensive element) would be used to help catalyses the process which enables hydrogen fuel production to occur. Now this new technology could be used instead. Using nano technology and bio-engineering components this new technology could be used directly with a fuel cell or in the production of hydrogen. The bacteria is inert since only the shell of the bacteria is used to contain the bio-material (modified hydroganese) and enzymes. Read more from the article below, there is also a link to the paper written about this technology.
