What are main challenges to split water at low input potential (V) to produce hydrogen for future Hydrogen requirement as energy storages system.
One of the main challenges to split water at low input potential to produce hydrogen is the need for efficient and durable catalysts. The catalysts must be able to drive the water splitting reaction at a low voltage, while also being resistant to degradation over time. Another challenge is the need for cost-effective and scalable methods for producing the catalysts and assembling the water splitting system. Additionally, the development of efficient and stable electrolytes, which are essential for facilitating proton transport during the water splitting reaction, is also a major challenge. Overall, addressing these challenges will be critical for realizing the potential of water splitting as a renewable energy storage technology.
Dinseh, the potential (applied voltage) per cell of the average Hydrogen electrolyser is only around 2.2 volts; so very easy to achieve with almost any renewable energy source. The cells may be stacked if you have a higher voltage source available.
