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 - also usable as fuel, though more volatile and dangerous.
It is also called water splitting. It ideally requires a potential difference of 1.23 volts to split water.
