1. Energy - sustainability - hydrogen.
The process of using electricity to split water (H2O) into its constituent elements of hydrogen and oxygen.
Depending on how the electricity has been produced, this can potentially be a low-carbon technique for producing hydrogen.
Sometimes known as the electrolysis of water.
2. Chemistry.
More generally, splitting compound substances into simpler components by passing electricity through them.
The compound substances need to be dissolved in water or another liquid, or molten.
