Make Hydrogen From Water

The method of making hydrogen in water
If you want to make hydrogen in water, the ancient method is not one end. Looking at the principle of nature, water is formed by the combination of hydrogen and oxygen. If you want to get hydrogen out of it, you need to use a clever method.

First, you can use the power of electricity. Put an electrode in the water, pass an electric current, and the water will decompose. At the anode, oxygen escapes; at the cathode, hydrogen is generated. This is the method of electrolysis. The reason is that electricity can break the chemical bonds in the water molecules, and the hydrogen and oxygen are separated. However, this method requires a lot of electricity. If you don't have cheap electricity, it is not a good strategy.

Second, you can use heat. At high temperatures, water can also decompose. But the required temperature is extremely high, usually above a thousand degrees. At such a high temperature, the water molecules are energized and crack, and the hydrogen and oxygen disperse. However, to maintain this high temperature, energy consumption is huge, and the equipment needs to be extremely heat-resistant, the process is complicated, and it is difficult to use widely.

Third, the biological method can also be. There are microorganisms in the world, which have special abilities, and can use water and other substances in a suitable environment to generate hydrogen through biochemical reactions. Although this path is green and natural, the reaction rate is slow, and the yield is limited, which needs to be improved.

To sum up, the method of producing hydrogen from water has its own advantages and disadvantages. In order to find a good solution, we should consider energy, cost, and efficiency in order to achieve efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly methods, so that the production of hydrogen is convenient and feasible.
