Space-based bacterial production of hydrogen

This paper deals with the electrochemical production of hydrogen by depolarizing the oxygen evolution reaction using human feces and urine, which contains 30-40% bacteria and yeast. The electroactivity of graphite, tungsten carbide, perovskite and RuO2-coated Ebonex (Ti4O7) as anode materials are compared. The scale-up of the process in a laboratory-scale three-dimensional packed bed cell is discussed.

On the theory of tunnelling in electron and proton transfer reactions.

The concept of tunnelling in the theory of electron and proton transfer reactions has recently been questioned on the ground that the situation is a nonstationary one. It has been suggested that time-dependent perturbation theory should be applied to obtain the quantum mechanical transition probability. We have done this for a square barrier. The result for most reactions is the same as obtained by the WKB approximation.
