Produce, store and utilize hydrogen through the electrolysis of water. The electrolyzer's membrane and catalysts work to take advantage of an electrochemical reaction in order to separate the oxygen and hydrogen molecules of water. ... Hydrogen can then be utilized to power a fuel cell stack.

What does an electrolyzer do?

An electrolyzer is a system that uses electricity to break water into hydrogen and oxygen in a process called electrolysis. Through electrolysis, the electrolyzer system creates hydrogen gas. ... The entire system also contains pumps, vents, storage tanks, a power supply, separator and other components.

What is the difference between an electrolyzer and a fuel cell?

The differences are: Fuel cell is an object but electrolysis is a technique. Fuel cell uses electricity generated in a chemical reaction,but in electrolysis we supply electricity for a chemical reaction to occur.
