Electrolysis of water at low temperatures?

[Benjamin8998]

Hi

 

I learned about various advanced technology available for electrolysis of tap water. I was wondering if someone knows of a system that helps achieve electrolysis at high altitudes where temperature of water is close to 0'C .

 

I know that a usual system would perform poorly due to Arrhenius principle. But I was wondering if someone knows of something otherwise?

 

Best,

Well it would be extremely simple to increase the pressure and the temperature, so really it should hardly matter.

How do you propose one should do that without using more energy. Is there a way by which we could achieve Electrolysis without much help from heat?

 

Thanks

Just insulate it enough, and the heat loss from any inefficiencies in electrolysis will be enough to heat it, basically for free.
