"electrolysis". Hydrolysis is a wholly different activity. The intent of the method presented is to make electrolysis energetically cheaper. It might end up financially cheaper, depending on what the apparatus costs, which will of course start out high and come down if used much. Apparently there are practical catalytic processes to go directly from N2 and H2O to NH3 and O2. Everything will compete, and a few processes will win. Tolerance of impurities in the water has often been a problem. Where you have to distill the water first, that increases cost.
