Hydrogen-powered future: Renewable energy storage solution unlocks clean transportation era
Hydrogen is a clean energy source for the future, and water electrolysis is a popular way to produce it sustainably. This process is important for storing renewable energy. The chapter explains how different types of electrolyzers work and the science behind the reactions at the electrodes. Hydrogen production is fast, but oxygen production is slow and causes most of the energy loss. The main technologies discussed are alkaline, proton exchange membrane, and solid oxide electrolysis.
