Abstract
Abstract The thermodynamics of the water dissociation reaction is introduced. The role of operating temperature and pressure is discussed. The fundamental aspects of water electrolysis including a discussion of half-cell reaction mechanisms are summarized. The energy, coulombic, and total efficiencies of water electrolysis are defined.
