Get Hydrogen From Water

A Microscopic Study of Hydrogen Production from Water
The discussion of the world and the source of hydrogen is often thought of in water. Water is the softest in the world, but it is rich in hydrogen, which is the best choice for hydrogen production.

If you want to extract hydrogen from water, there are various methods. One is the method of electrolyzing water. Take electricity as the guide, pass through water, water meets electricity and separates hydrogen and oxygen. The anode generates oxygen, and the cathode polymers hydrogen. This way requires the power of electricity, so the cheapness and sufficiency of electricity are related to the rise and fall of this method. If you get cheap and abundant electricity, such as those produced by solar and wind energy, electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen can be used.

The second is thermochemical method. Heat is used as energy to make water in a specific environment, through complex transformation, divided into hydrogen and oxygen. The key lies in finding a suitable reactant and the right temperature and pressure. However, in the road of thermal chemistry, equipment often needs to withstand extreme heat and pressure, the process is also complex, and the cost remains high, so it is difficult to popularize.

The third is photocatalysis. Borrowing the power of light, triggering a photocatalyst to induce water decomposition. Light, natural energy, endless. Photocatalytic hydrogen production, if we can improve the efficiency of the catalyst and improve the utilization rate of light, will be a new face for hydrogen production. However, this technology is still in the research period, and many problems need to be solved, such as the life and efficiency of the catalyst need to be improved.

Hydrogen extraction from water, although the road ahead is difficult, but hydrogen is a clean energy source, which is of great significance in today's environmental pollution and energy shortage. All kinds of hydrogen production methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. For those who are waiting for scientific research, use their efforts to solve their problems, so that the art of water hydrogen production can be widely practiced, providing clean energy for the world, solving the difficulties of energy, and naturally using Qingning.
