The great potential of electrolysis of water for hydrogen production
In the future, the cost of hydrogen production by electrolysis of water will continue to decline, and the industry has great potential for development. In recent years, hydrogen energy has gradually become one of the important energy carriers for global low-carbon development, and the application field of hydrogen energy is gradually expanding to scenarios such as electricity, transportation, and construction. The continuous upgrading of hydrogen production technology is the basis for the continuous expansion of the hydrogen energy application market. According to the source of raw materials, hydrogen production technology can be divided into four categories: hydrogen production from fossil raw materials, hydrogen production from chemical raw materials, hydrogen production from industrial tail gas, and hydrogen production from water electrolysis. Among them, water electrolysis to produce hydrogen is the cleanest way to produce hydrogen. Water electrolysis to produce hydrogen refers to the production of hydrogen by passing direct current into an electrolytic cell filled with electrolyte, and water molecules undergo electrochemical reactions on the electrodes, thereby decomposing into hydrogen and oxygen. Way. The hydrogen obtained by electrolysis of water is of high purity and is the most promising way to provide green hydrogen energy in the future.
