'Wet' Electrons Provide Easiest Way to Transport Charge

Technology has potential to produce clean fuel "if we could make it more efficient"The task of transporting electrical charges between metal-oxide and water phases is critical in such technologies as catalysis, sensors, and electrochemistry. In a paper published in this week`s issue of the journal Science, University of Pittsburgh researchers report that "wet" electrons afford the lowest energy pathway for transporting electrons between solid and liquid states.
