🧠 What It Means
In electrolysis, electricity separates water into hydrogen and oxygen.
In fuel cells, hydrogen and oxygen recombine to produce electricity, water, and heat.
Reaction efficiency, catalyst type, and operating conditions all affect performance.
❗ Key Challenges
Finding stable, affordable catalysts (e.g. platinum alternatives).
Managing reaction temperature and pressure.
Degradation over time reduces lifetime.
