Interesting discovery but a similar principle called electrolysis has been used for over 200 years in a variety of applications. No secret that salt solutions cause ionisation of the constituent atoms.This method just substitutes radio wave energy in place of applying electrical energy directly. The fact that this idea hasn't been commercially exploited yet means that there is a catch. And the catch is that it probably uses up more energy (radio wave generation) than it produces.
They are probably looking at ways to improve the efficiency of the process by reducing the energy required. Or they could look at places radio waves are already being used (radio stations, research facilities or radar installations) and combine this process to give free (sort of) energy.

Words out of my mouth. This method isn't new either, I read about it when I was in 9th grade science. There are lots of catches, the equipment is expensive to manufacture (meaning it uses a lot of fossil fuel to do so).
