Researchers at Glasgow University have created a new technique [bbc.com] for producing hydrogen fuel from water. The process is thirty times faster than current methods.

From the journal:

"By using a liquid sponge known as a redox mediator that can soak up electrons and acid we've been able to create a system where hydrogen can be produced in a separate chamber without any additional energy input after the electrolysis of water takes place."
