Abstract Radiant energy in conjunction with an n-type amorphous silicon semiconducting anode to at least partially power an electrolytic cell is used in the generation of hydrogen, utilizing a bromide, prefer- ably hydrogen bromide, as the essential electrolyte component in the electrolytic cell to solve overvoltage and corrosion problems associated with the use of con- ventional electrolytes in similar environments. The use of the bromide electrolyte results in the broaden- ing of the selection of semiconductor electrodes which can be used in the process and apparatus of the present invention enabling the n-type amorphous silicon semi- conducting anode to be used with superior anticorrosive and radiant energy gathering results over conventional systems, To insure against corrosion, the n-type amorphous silicon semiconductor should preferably be used with a thin layer of platinum overcoating. The hydrogen generated from such system can be used to power a fuel cell.
