Basics

An electrochemical cell that converts the chemical energy of a fuel (often hydrogen) and an oxidizing agent (often oxygen[1]) directly into electricity through a special reactor (or cell...)
"Fuel Cell Types

There are five principle types of fuel cells:

- Alkaline Fuel Cell (AFC)
- Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell (MCFC)
- Phosphoric Acid Fuel Cell (PAFC)
- Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC)
- Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC)
