ABSTRACT:
Radiant energy to at least partially power an electrolytic cell is used in the generation of hydrogen, utilizing a bromide, preferably hydrogen bromide, as the essential electrolyte component in the electrolytic cell to solve overvoltage and corrosion problems associated with the use of conventional electrolytes in similar environments. The use of such material also results in a broadening of the selection of semiconductor electrodes which can be used in such process and apparatus. The semiconductors employed are generally nonmetals and can be multilayered structures comprised of a gradient of diminishing width band gap material. The hydrogen generated from such system can be used to power a fuel cell.
