Electrolysis is the process of breaking down a substance into its individual components using an electric current. This process is widely used in industry as well as in scientific research. In simple terms, electrolysis involves the use of an electrolytic cell that consists of two electrodes, an anode and a cathode, and an electrolyte solution that conducts electricity.
When an electric potential is applied across the anode and cathode, the ions in the electrolyte solution move towards their respective electrodes due to the attraction of opposite charges. At the anode, positive ions lose their electrons and become oxidised, while at the cathode, negative ions gain electrons and become reduced. This results in the formation of new substances, which can be isolated through various processes.
One important application of electrolysis is in the production of hydrogen gas, which is used in various industries as well as for energy production. In this process, water is used as the electrolyte solution, and the electric current is used to split the water molecule into its constituent hydrogen and oxygen atoms.
Electrode Mesh is commonly used in electrolysis processes to increase the efficiency of the process. The mesh structure provides a large surface area for the reaction to take place, allowing for more contact between the electrode and the electrolyte. This increased surface area helps to facilitate the transfer of electrons and ions, leading to a faster and more effective electrolysis process.
