The process of creating hydrogen from water involves splitting the molecules to separate oxygen and hydrogen (i.e., electrolysis). While this can be simple enough for a middle school science experiment, to make it efficient enough for commercial hydrogen production is decidedly more complex.
A catalyst is required to drive the process efficiently, and platinum has long been the standard. It is an excellent catalyst, but it is exceptionally expensive.
