These days hydrogen is in evidence as an alternative for clean fuel. This publicity is increasing as the hydrogen fuel gets real in transportation. Although the combustion of hydrogen and oxygen produces only water 2H2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2H2O (g) + energy, what many people do not know is that the main process to...
