Im not sure what you are saying here Sean. H2O is infact split thru photosynthsis in the light cycle  into 2 H's and 1 O. 
   
  ADP is not a catalyst, its an energy carrier.

            Sunshine at the Earth's surface does not pop any protons (hydrogen nucleii) off of any molecules, hydrogen dioxide or otherwise.  To strip a hydrogen atom off of a water molecule requires more energy density than 1kW/m^2 of photon energy.  Or, it requires catalysts like adenosine diphosphate (ADP).  Chemical reactions, making and breaking of chemical bonds just changes the way atoms share electrons.  A water molecule H2O, still has 18 protons and 18 electrons.  Ionized molecules lose or gain electrons, but they do NOT lose or gain protons and neutrons.
