Fuel Cell

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...)
• 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)
