Electrolysis is the process of physically splitting water, using an electrical current as a catalyst, into its base components of hydrogen and oxygen, or 2H2O 2H2 + O2 During the process the products will be collected by two cathodes, one positively charged and one negatively charged. The Positive cathode will collect the Oxygen and the Negatively charged cathode will collect the Hydrogen. (DOE 1998). Current uses of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydro are sources of energy which are not easily stored for future use. That is, ?n the mid to long term, a large and growing renewable-based electric power system will require significant storage capacity?ydrogen will provide perfect storage medium.?(US DOE) Also, these sources of energy give endless possibilities of how and where electrolysis can be used. Hypothetically, electrolysis can quite possibly be used to fuel industry, homes, and even create fuel for automobiles during long trips. Depending...
