Auto-Ionization of water (- 80 kJ/mole) and hydration of ions ~1,000 kJ/mole)
should increase entropy, no?

Gibbs Free Energy:

OTOH, Gas Phase Recombination of Electrons with Protons (13.6 eV, 1,310 kJ/mole)
to form H,  then H + OH ----> H2O (~ 5.2 eV,  498 kJ/mole) in an ICE increases Entropy a lot
more than the condensed phase (1,080 kJ/mole) Auto-Ionization-Hydration of ions,which
gives 498 kJ/mole + 230 kJ/mole  = 728 kJ/mole  "Free Energy" for engine work
from the Waterfuel/Joe Cell, no?
