Electrolysis

Basics

• The splitting (lysis) of molecules using electricity
• Can also refer to Electroplating ?

Main Electolysis Feedstocks

Water

• Produces Hydrogen and Oxygen
• Often an alkaline powder is added to increase conductivity over pure water
• There is a PILE of projects/build documentation on these devices, many of which are for Oxyhydrogen Pseudoscience related use cases, BUT the devices themselves may still be of use/worth investigating

Brine

• Produces Chlorine, Hydrogen and Sodium Hydroxide

Aluminium Oxide

• Modern refining method (was more complex chemical wise, need to dig)

Electroplating Metals

• Electroplating
