The hype on this is largely crap. No one uses platinum for the electrode in electrolysis of water anyway, and they still have a significant overvoltage, i.e. a large fraction of the energy goes into heat, so it isn't efficient for storage of energy. This article is a bit more vicious than me about this: http://www.theoildrum.com/node/4378 Perry
