Pedant alert...

I haven't been able to get a hold of the paper, but the BBC report makes it sound as if they're talking about a small single-chip solution. This sort of thing has already been done at a case level. There was a Hexus thread about it a year ago .
Not likely to help the ozone layer as the highly charged ozone particles break down before reaching a suitable hight as it is highly unstable. The other problem being Ozone is highly cacenogenic. The sweet fresh smell after a summer storm is ozone
