With this efficiency, it could be feasible to just split the water at the point-of-use.
If you have the power source at the point of use, it's still more efficient to just use that for propulsion.
There has to be a way to store the hydrogen for later use.
I'm reminded of the "run your car on water/save fuel" scams which involved "HHO generators"
I used to work with a guy who was convinced that his HHO generator would yield all kinds of increased fuel efficiency on his gas guzzling pickup truck.
He didn't have the background to understand why it's not possible to get more energy out of burning the brown's gas than he used to create it.
While increased efficiency in the splitting of water molecules is a great thing, there's still basic thermodynamics.
