The electrolyser itself is a series of cells with an electrolysis reaction taking place: [6] 2 H20(l) ↔ H2(g) + O2 (g) ΔHrxn = +286 kJ/mol H2. Each electrolyser cell consists of an anode and a
Therefore, hydrogen production from water electrolysis driven by RESs is a sustainable, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly method. Depending on the electrolyte used, hydrogen production from electrolyzers can be sorted into three types namely solid oxide electrolyzers (SOEs), proton exchange membrane electrolyzers
In 2010 the efficiency of water electrolysis to produce hydrogen was found to be below 60% [69], and while the efficiency for the most efficient water electrolysers in 2014 had reached 61.5% [17], many of the systems on the higher end of efficiency ratings59].

Indeed, from the view of energy, high-frequency pulse electrolysis will introduce lots of voltage or current harmonics, which will not produce hydrogen and cause obvious efficiency loss 43,44,45.
Therefore, water oxidation to oxygen generation is also considered as an important side-reaction and which obviously affects the efficiency of economic hydrogen production via water electrolysis. In short, the overall redox reaction of water electrolysis is divided into two half-cell reactions: hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction
The HydroGen electrolyser was designed from scratch to be as low cost as possible. Innovations include operating at fairly low current density to maximise efficiency, and reducing the flow of electrolyte through to reduce so-called shunt currents that waste electricity, thus improving.

Tracking the evolution of electrolyser efficiencies is similarly complicated, as efficiency is dependent on the system design and optimisation goals. Alkaline and PEM electrolysers have comparable efficiency and – depending on design – can operate flexibly to allow direct coupling with variable renewable electricity sources.
Nowadays, hydrogen production by water electrolysis has become an emerging trend in new energy production, especially in the context of global carbon neutrality [ 12, 13, 14 ]. Water electrolysis operates through the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at the anode, and the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) at the cathode.
