Abstract

The world produces approximately 50 million tons a year of hydrogen (H2). H2 gas is mainly used as a raw material for making ammonia and other industrial processes like the making of margarine. Along with this, H2 has the potential to completely replace the use of fossil fuels. It is a carbon-free energy carrier and is one of the potential candidate that can fulfill our need for a clean energy future, provided it can be produced from readily available, renewable energy sources. H2 by electrolysis create substitutes for petrol and aviation fuel is next phase of the world decarbonisation. The proposed chapter gives an insight into the fundamentals of electrolysis and different types of electrolysis based on the energy inputs given for the completion of the reaction to produce hydrogen. Issues associated with the higher cost of hydrogen generated through water electrolysis and the significance of electrocatalyst to making this process energy favorable are discussed. Further, the state of the art electrocatalyst depending on the cheap and abundant first-row transition series metal ions and its composite with carbon-based material with enhanced surface area is discussed.
