Electrochemical water splitting

Electrochemical water splitting is a process that uses electricity to break water molecules (H₂O) into their basic components—hydrogen and oxygen gases. When an electric current is applied across two electrodes submerged in water, it causes the water molecules to split: hydrogen is produced at the cathode (negative side), and oxygen at the anode (positive side). This method is a clean way to generate hydrogen fuel, which can be used for energy, with water as the only raw material, making it environmentally friendly when powered by renewable energy sources.
