Alkaline electrolyzer

An alkaline electrolyzer is a device that produces hydrogen gas by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity. It has an alkaline liquid, usually potassium or sodium hydroxide, as an electrolyte, which helps conduct electricity efficiently. When electricity flows through the water, it separates into hydrogen at one electrode and oxygen at the other. This method is relatively simple, reliable, and cost-effective, making it suitable for large-scale hydrogen production. Alkaline electrolyzers are important for clean energy, as they generate hydrogen without emitting greenhouse gases if powered by renewable energy sources.
