Not sure if it is relevant, but I frequently saw higher heat output with electrolysis compared to joule heating (when conducting over 100 electrolysis experiments). I dismissed it at the time and tried to always use an electrolytic control instead. Rarely did I see what should be seen (joule heating > electrolysis ).
