Hydrogen-powered future: Alkaline electrolysis breakthrough boosts efficiency up to 83.5%
Hydrogen is important for moving away from fossil fuels. It can be made by splitting water using electrolysis. There are three main types of electrolysis technologies: acidic, alkaline, and solid oxide. Alkaline electrolysers are the biggest and most efficient. A model was made to see how different factors affect efficiency. The temperature can change efficiency by up to 3.5 percentage points, with higher temperatures being better.
