I am planning to make an electrolytic cell for hydrogen production using carbon electrodes. Could anybody suggest some good literature on the concept and how I can measure the hydrogen evolution ?
HI
Thanks for your reply, my Idea is to prepare anode by (modified carbon electrodes using gold nano particle) for water electrolysis. But, I am not getting Idea how to make better home made electrolytic cell and to measure the hydrogen evolution
The most simple way to measure the H2 evolution from the electrolytic cell is displacement of water in an inverted measuring cylinder. The cylinder should be filled with water and placed over the electrode for H2 generation. The produced gas will displace the water volume corresponding to its quantity. Such way was also used in our articles devoted to hydrogen extraction.
For example:

or

The brief description of this method is in the experimental part.
