electrolyse
Electrically break down
Electrolyse is the British spelling of electrolyze—to decompose a chemical compound by passing electric current through it.
Water can be electrolysed into hydrogen and oxygen.
The process is used industrially for metal plating, purification, and producing chemicals: The solution was electrolysed to extract the copper.
