Water electrolysis is a process known for more than 200 years [2]. It consists of the decomposition of water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen by applying a determined amount of energy (electric current and heat), causing a global reaction of oxidation-reduction ( Eq. 9.1 ): (9.1) H 2 O → H 2 + 1 2 O 2.
