Answer:
Electrolysis of water is the decomposition of water into oxygen and hydrogen gas due to the passage of an electric current.
This technique can be used to make hydrogen gas, a main component of hydrogen fuel, and breathable oxygen gas, or can mix the two into oxyhydrogen, which is also usable as fuel, though more volatile and dangerous.
It is also called water splitting. It requires a minimum potential difference of 1.23 volts to split water.
