The development of high efficiency plasma electrolysis, with the application of pulses of high voltage and extreme short duration to alkaline electrolysis, reveals the characteristics of a new type of water splitting dynamics. Pulses of a width in the nanosecond range are used in the study of the double layer formation of the H2O molecules in the interface electrode/electrolyte, corresponding to a capacitive effect depending on the geometry of the electrolysis cell. Varying the frequency, voltage, electrode separation and ionic density of the electrolyte, show responses in the system that introduces the participation of a new type of capacitance in the process, chemical capacitance. This new parameter can guide future studies to understand the mechanics of water splitting under very short pulsed voltages.
