Hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe, holds great promise as a clean energy source. Hydrogen production machines, also known as electrolyzers, are at the forefront of harnessing this potential. These devices split water into hydrogen and oxygen using an electrical current, a process known as electrolysis.
How Do Hydrogen Production Machines Work?
The core of a hydrogen production machine is the electrolyzer cell, where water electrolysis takes place. When a sufficient voltage is applied, water molecules (H2O) are separated into hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) gases. This reaction occurs in two parts:
- At the anode (positive electrode), water oxidizes, releasing oxygen, electrons, and hydrogen ions (protons).
- At the cathode (negative electrode), hydrogen ions gain electrons and form hydrogen gas.
