Yes, nanotechnology surely will have a great role. And electrolysis is -in this case a generator of technological nightmares, we have to get rid of it. A gas phase system is a must, heat generated <100 deg Celsius is low quality energy, >180-200 deg Celsius is OK, you can convert it in electricity via steam. This is the reason for disappointment that Leslie Case's process has fizzled out. In my 1991 "Topology is the key" paper I have predicted it, but it has died. Lacking imagination, I think it was poisoned..
