The electrolysis of water is a simple method of producing hydrogen (In practice a saltwater solution increases the reaction intensity). A low voltage DC (direct current) is run through the water by using cathode and anode plates. Typically, the cathode is made of platinum when producing hydrogen for storage. Oxygen forms at the anode and hydrogen forms at cathode. The hydrogen produced by this process has less energy content that the energy gone in to produce hydrogen due the efficiency of the process. Average efficiency is around 50-70% and the theoretical maximum efficiency can be betwee...
