45、xygen gases are then stored in a fuel cell， which uses those two materials to produce electricity， located either on top of a house or beside the house. Though the leaf is only about the shape of a poker card， scientists claimed that it is promising to be an inexpensive source of electricity in deve
46、loping countries. “One can imagine villages in India and Africa not long from now purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology,” said Nocera at a conference of the American Chemical Society.
