DESCRIPTION

Santa Cruz CA (SPX) Feb 21, 2022 Aluminum is a highly reactive metal that can strip oxygen from water molecules to generate hydrogen gas. Its widespread use in products that get wet poses no danger because aluminum instantly reacts with air to acquire a coating of aluminum oxide, which blocks further reactions. For years, researchers have tried to find efficient and cost-effective ways to use aluminum's reactivity to gene
