«Hydrogen (H2) produced from water splitting
by an electrochemical process, called water
electrolysis, has been considered to be a clean and sustainable energy resource to replace fossil fuels and meet the rising global energy demand, since water is both the sole starting material and byproduct when clean energy is produced
by converting H2 back to water,» the researchers wrote.
