How To Generate Hydrogen

"Method of Hydrogen Production"

If you want to produce hydrogen, there are three methods. The first is the method of water electrolysis. Take water from the tank, place an electrode in it, and pass an electric current. Water is synthesized by hydrogen and oxygen, and the electric current acts to separate hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen rises at the cathode, and oxygen accumulates at the anode. This is the most common way to produce hydrogen. However, this way consumes a lot of electricity. If you want to use it widely, you should find a way to save electricity efficiently.

The second is the method of reforming fossil fuels. Take fossil materials such as coal and natural gas as materials. For example, natural gas, its main component is methane. In the environment of high temperature and catalyst, methane interacts with water vapor, and through a series of reactions, hydrogen and carbon monoxide can be obtained. Later, through a transformation reaction, carbon monoxide reacts with water to increase the yield of hydrogen. The raw materials in this way are easy to obtain, but they also produce greenhouse bodies such as carbon dioxide, which are contaminated with the ring, so it is necessary to take good care of the exhaust gas.

The third is the method of biological hydrogen production. Thanks to the work of microorganisms, organic waste or specific biomass are used as substrates. All kinds of microorganisms, in suitable temperatures, acid-base environments, etc., can produce hydrogen through metabolism. This way is green and environmentally friendly, but the technology is not mature, and the hydrogen production rate is still low. It still needs to be developed.

The methods of hydrogen production have their own advantages and disadvantages. To seek a good method, we should comprehensively consider the supply of raw materials, the amount of energy consumption, the shadow of the ring and other factors in order to find the most suitable way, so as to provide the world with the energy and the help of hydrogen.
