Electrolysis: Splitting Water Into Hydrogen and Oxygen

Electrolysis uses electricity to break water into hydrogen and oxygen.
It requires two electrodes placed in water and a power source.
The positive electrode (anode) produces oxygen gas.
The negative electrode (cathode) produces hydrogen gas.
Pure water doesn’t conduct well—electrolytes are added to help.
Hydrogen made by electrolysis is a clean fuel with only water as exhaust.
Oxygen from electrolysis can be used in medicine and industry.
This process stores renewable energy by turning electricity into fuel.
Electrolysis efficiency depends on electrode materials and power input.
It’s a key technology for a sustainable hydrogen-powered future.
