Water electrolysis to hydrogen and oxygen is a well-established technology, whereas fundamental advances in CO 2 electrolysis are still needed to enable short-term and seasonal energy storage in the form of liquid fuels.
Electrolysis of water is using electricity to split water into oxygen ( O. 2) and hydrogen ( H. 2) gas by electrolysis. Hydrogen gas released in this way can be used as hydrogen fuel, but must be kept apart from the
Storage technologies, particularly hydrogen, have emerged as a promising solution due to its stability and transportability, enabling the efficient utilization of renewable energy. While storage batteries suffice for short-term power fluctuations, hydrogen stands out for its capability to manage larger shifts in power [ 2 ].

In that molecular pairing, one oxygen-16 from the water has combined with one oxygen-18 from the metal oxide lattice. One possibility is that the oxygen-18 is adsorbed and released only on the surface of the catalyst. To check, the researchers calculated how much oxygen-18 could be contained per volume of the strontium-cobalt-oxide catalyst.
