Hydrogen fuel vehicles, also known as hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCVs), are a type of electric vehicle that uses hydrogen gas as a fuel to generate electricity on-board. These vehicles are powered by fuel cells, which convert the chemical energy of hydrogen into electricity, which in turn powers an electric motor to drive the vehicle.Here's how hydrogen fuel vehicles generally work:Hydrogen Storage: Hydrogen gas is stored on-board the vehicle in high-pressure tanks. These tanks are typically made of carbon fiber or other lightweight materials to maximize storage capacity while minimizing weight.Fuel Cell Stack: The stored hydrogen gas is fed into a fuel cell stack, where it undergoes a chemical reaction with oxygen from the air. This reaction generates electricity, as well as heat and water vapor, as byproducts.Electric Motor: The electricity produced by the fuel cell stack is used to power an electric motor, which drives the vehicle's wheels. This motor operates similarly to those found in battery electric vehicles (BEVs).Regenerative Braking: Like other electric vehicles, hydrogen fuel vehicles often incorporate regenerative braking systems, which capture energy during braking and convert it into electricity to recharge the vehicle's battery or supplement power to the electric motor.Water Vapor Emission: The only emission from hydrogen fuel vehicles is water vapor, making them a zero-emission vehicle option when powered by hydrogen produced from renewable sources.Hydrogen fuel vehicles offer several potential advantages:Zero Emissions: When hydrogen is produced from renewable sources, such as electrolysis powered by renewable energy, hydrogen fuel vehicles produce zero tailpipe emissions, contributing to cleaner air and mitigating climate change.Fast Refueling: Hydrogen fuel vehicles can be refueled in a matter of minutes, similar to refueling a gasoline vehicle, offering greater convenience compared to battery electric vehicles, which require longer charging times.Long Range: Hydrogen fuel vehicles typically have longer driving ranges compared to battery electric vehicles, making them suitable for long-distance travel without the need for frequent refueling.However, there are also challenges associated with hydrogen fuel vehicles, including the limited availability of hydrogen refueling infrastructure, the high cost of fuel cell technology, and the energy-intensive process of producing hydrogen. Despite these challenges, hydrogen fuel vehicles represent a promising technology with the potential to play a significant role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector.

The electrodes are connected to an external power source, such as a battery or an electrical grid.Electrolysis Process: When an electric current is passed through the water, it causes electrolysis to occur. At the cathode (negative electrode), water molecules (H2O) gain electrons (e-) and are reduced to form hydrogen gas (H2): 2H2O(l) + 2e- → H2(g) + 2OH-(aq)At the anode (positive electrode), water molecules lose electrons and are oxidized to form oxygen gas (O2): 2H2O(l) → O2(g) + 4H+(aq) + 4e-Gas Separation: The hydrogen gas produced at the cathode and the oxygen gas produced at the anode are typically collected separately. The gases may undergo additional purification processes to remove impurities before being used or stored.Storage and Utilization: The hydrogen gas produced through electrolysis can be stored for later use or utilized in various applications, including fuel for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, industrial processes, energy storage, and power generation.Electrolytic hydrogen production offers several advantages:Clean Energy Source: When powered by renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, or hydroelectric power, electrolytic hydrogen production can produce "green hydrogen" with zero greenhouse gas emissions, making it a clean and sustainable energy source.Versatility: Hydrogen produced through electrolysis can be used as a versatile energy carrier for a wide range of applications, including transportation, industry, and electricity generation.Grid Balancing: Electrolytic hydrogen production can help balance electricity supply and demand on the grid by providing a means of storing excess renewable energy during periods of low demand and releasing it as hydrogen when demand is high.Decentralization: Electrolytic hydrogen production facilities can be deployed in various locations, including remote or off-grid areas, providing decentralized energy solutions and enhancing energy access and resilience.Overall, electrolytic hydrogen production is a key technology for enabling the transition to a low-carbon energy system and unlocking the full potential of hydrogen as a clean and sustainable energy source.
