Bio-inspired molybdenum sulfide catalyst offers low-cost and efficient photo-electrochemical water splitting to produce hydrogen
The optimized photo-electrochemical water splitting device uses light absorbers made of silicon arranged in closely packed pillars, dotted with tiny clusters of the new molybdenum sulfide catalyst. Image courtesy of Christian D. Damsgaard, Thomas Pedersen and Ole Hansen, Technical University...
Not bad but I believe this has more potential as it can be added to any existing engine and produces greater efficiency gains.

BMW Study on Rankine Cycle for Waste Heat Recovery Shows Potential Additional 10% Power Output at Highway Speeds
Energy utilization vs. complexity of different heat recovery systems. In this study, BMW focused on Rankine A (exhaust gas only) and Rankine B (exhaust gas and coolant). Adapted from Ringler et al. (2009) Click to enlarge. BMW is exploring two pathways for waste heat recovery in vehicles: one ...

You might want to check your facts. Hydrogen, just like ethanol, has shown to be 43 to 48% in the thermal efficiency category. And that is without all the turbos and efficiency boosters used on diesels to get them to 40+%.

Researchers Propose Solar-Driven Biomass Gasification Pathway for Synthetic Fuel Production
Schema of synfuel synthesis through solar-driven biomass gasification. Solar energy produces both heat for gasification and H2 via electrolysis. From Hertwich et al. (2009) Click to enlarge. Researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) are proposing a new process fo...
