Electrolysis

Water Electrolysis, is the process of applying a direct electrical current through an electrolyte to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.


Though research and development continues on modified and novel electrolysis processes, today there are two main types of commercial electrolyzers, Alkaline electrolyzers and Polymer Electrolyte Membrane electrolyzers (often called Proton Exchange Membrane electrolyzers or just “PEM” for short).
