Applications of Electrolysis

• One of the problems associated with the widespread adoption of fuel cells is the scarcity of hydrogen.
• Where is the hydrogen to power these fuel cells going to come from?
• A solar- or wind-powered electrolytic cell can be used to make hydrogen from water when the sun is shining or when the wind is blowing.
• The hydrogen can be converted back to water in a fuel cell to generate electricity when needed.
• Hydrogen made in this way could be used to power fuel-cell vehicles.
