The principle of Shanghai Yetuo hydrogen generator

The working principle of a chlorine generator is to decompose water molecules by electrolyzing water, producing hydrogen gas and oxygen gas. The specific steps are as follows:

Water electrolysis: Pure water is injected into the electrolytic cell of the generator, which has two electrodes, one is the negative electrode (cathode) and the other is the positive electrode (anode). When powered on, the cathode attracts oxygen ions (O2-) in water, while the anode attracts hydrogen ions (H+) in water.

Water splitting: When hydrogen ions reach the anode, they accept electrons and undergo oxidation reactions, producing hydrogen gas (H2). This reaction is called a reduction reaction. At the same time, oxygen ions accept electrons at the cathode and undergo a reduction reaction, producing oxygen (O2).

Collection of hydrogen and oxygen: The generated hydrogen and oxygen are collected in different containers. Due to its lighter weight than oxygen, hydrogen will rise to the top, while oxygen will deposit at the bottom.

Protective devices: In order to prevent hydrogen explosions, hydrogen generators are usually equipped with various protective devices, such as pressure relief valves, spark extinguishers, gas detection sensors, etc.

Summary: A hydrogen generator is a device that decomposes water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen by electrolyzing water. After being powered on, hydrogen ions in the water undergo a reduction reaction at the anode to produce hydrogen gas, while oxygen ions undergo a reduction reaction at the cathode to produce oxygen gas. This device can be used to generate pure hydrogen gas for other applications.
