Electricity
Electrolysis of water i.e. the decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen gas when an electric current is passed through water.
$2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}_2+\mathrm{O}_2$
Sunlight:
$6 \mathrm{CO}_2+12 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow \mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_6+6 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}+6 \mathrm{O}_2$
