Jan 17, 2017 · A conventional fuel cell is an electrochemical power source that continuously converts the stored chemical energy in a fuel to electrical energy as long as there is a continuous supply of fuel. These fuel cells consist of the fuel, oxidant, and the anodic and cathodic substrate materials.

Fuel cells require a continuous input of fuel and an oxidizing agent(generally oxygen) in order to sustain the reactions that generate the electricity. Therefore, these cells can constantly generate electricity until the supply of fuel and oxygen is cut off. Despite being invented in the year 1838, fuel cells began commercial use only a century lat...
The reaction between hydrogen and oxygen can be used to generate electricity via a fuel cell. Such a cell was used in the Apollo space programme and it served two different purposes – It was used as a fuel source as well as a source of drinking water (the water vapour produced from the cell, when condensed, was fit for human consumption). The worki...
Despite working similarly, there exist many varieties of fuel cells. Some of these types of fuel cells are discussed in this subsection.
Fuel cell technology has a wide range of applications. Currently, heavy research is being conducted in order to manufacture a cost-efficient automobile which is powered by a fuel cell. A few applications of this technology are listed below. 1. Fuel cell electric vehicles, or FCEVs, use clean fuels and are therefore more eco-friendly than internal c...

Dec 20, 2019 · Microbial fuel cells were first described in 1911 (Potter 1911), but at that time, the focus was not on wastewater treatment but on the concept that microorganisms could generate electricity from synthetic media (cane sugar and glucose).
Jun 22, 2024 · Fuel cell, any of a class of devices that convert the chemical energy of a fuel directly into electricity by electrochemical reactions. A fuel cell resembles a battery in many respects, but it can supply electrical energy over a much longer period of time.
