Electrolysis - Wikipedia Electrolysis is the passing of a direct electric current through an electrolyte which is producing chemical reactions at the electrodes and decomposition of the materials
Electrolysis | Definition, Uses, Facts | Britannica In the process called electrolysis, electrical energy is converted directly into chemical energy, which is stored in the products of the reaction This process is applied in refining metals, in electroplating, and in producing hydrogen and oxygen from water
17. 7: Electrolysis - Chemistry LibreTexts When aqueous solutions of ionic compounds are electrolyzed, the anode and cathode half-reactions may involve the electrolysis of either water species (H 2 O, H +, OH -) or solute species (the cations and anions of the compound)
Hydrogen Production: Electrolysis | Department of Energy Electrolysis is a promising option for carbon-free hydrogen production from renewable and nuclear resources Electrolysis is the process of using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen
