It is a bad idea to produce hydrogen on demand with electrolysis. That
adds to the complexity and cost of the machine; it causes explosions,
and the hydrogen is impure. Since you only need minute quantities of
hydrogen it is much better to purchase it in pressure vessels.
Because only small amounts are needed, it could be possible to store the
hydrogen in a metal hydride tank.
This could ensure best purity of hydrogen.
Another possibility where to generate it from a chemical reaction, e.g.
HCL+Zn.
But I think a metal hydride tank would be the best and securest solution.
