Electrolyzer
An electrolyzer is a device that uses the process of electrolysis to split water (H2O) into its constituent elements, hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2), through the application of an electric current. This process involves passing an electric current through water, causing the water molecules to break apart into hydrogen and oxygen ions. The hydrogen ions collect at the cathode (negative electrode), while the oxygen ions collect at the anode (positive electrode). These ions then combine to form hydrogen gas at the cathode and oxygen gas at the anode. Water Treatment: Electrolyzers can be used to treat water by producing disinfectants such as hypochlorous acid or ozone, which can effectively kill bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. This makes electrolyzers valuable tools for water disinfection and sanitation in various settings, including households, hospitals, and industries.
