Electrolysis is the separation of pure water into hydrogen ( 2H2 and Oxygen O2 ). PEM ( Proton Exchange Membrane ) electrolyzers consist of a negative and a positive electrode and an electrolyte.
When a DC voltage is applied to the fuel cell water molecules at the anode are oxidized to oxygen and protons while electrons are released. The protons ( H+ ions ) pass through a proton-conducting membrane to the cathode where they are reduced to hydrogen gas by incorporating electrons from the outer circuit. In the process, oxygen gas accumulates at the anode.
