If you take $1 of electricity and water, you can convert it to $.50 of hydrogen bond energy, and then you can take the hydrogen run it through a fuel cell and get $.25 of electricity. It’s never going to be an alternative to battery chemistry which yields $.95 back.
Salt cavern storage doesn’t change the math.

As for efficiency: https://www.vicat.com/news/vicat-schlumberger-new-energy-cea-and-partners-announce-formation-genvia-clean-hydrogen https://www.vicat.com/news/vicat-schlumberger-new-energy-cea... https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1876610212014725 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S187661021... > Salt cavern storage doesn’t change the math "Total on- and offshore European hydrogen storage potential estimated at 84.8 PWhH2." is pretty significant and pertinent.
