activated carbon
could someone use activated carbon to produce hyrdogen out of water extremely fast because of the huge amount of surface area? Or would that not matter?

I'm assuming you mean via electrolysis. Wouldn't it make more sense to use, you know, a conductor?

. I'll guess that the H2 will quickly fill the empty spaces in the AC and wipe out any advantage the larger surface area might have.

I don't think the surface area helps, because I don't think the electrode surface area is a limiting factor in electrolysis...
