An alternative to water electrolysis or thermochemical water splitting for hydrogen production could be a process using both electricity and heat. The electrolysis of hydrogen halides may be an important step of such hybrid processes. Some preliminary results obtained by electrolyzing concentrated hydrobromic acid with different electrode materials and at different temperatures are presentd. High current densities were obtained at 1 V and less with electrodes of noble metals at low bromide concentrations.
