Fuel Cell Technology Presented by: www.essayshelpservice.com/


Fuel Cell Technology  Fuel cells are devices that convert chemical energy

into electrical energy.  Hydrogen is the common fuel  Hydrocarbons such as alcohols and natural gases are often used.  Fuel cells require a steady source of oxygen and fuel to run.

Fuel Cell Technology  There are several types of fuel cells designs.  Consist of a cathode (positive side), an anode

(negative side), and an electrolyte.  The electrolyte allows charges to flow between the anode and the cathode sides of the cell.  Electrons flow from the anode towards the cathode part generating direct current electricity.

Fuel Cell Technology  Fuel cells are classified according to the

electrolyte type they use.  Are stacked in series to boost the voltage.  Produce heat, water and nitrogen dioxide.  Energy efficiency of fuel cells is between 40–60 percent or up to 85 percent efficient

Fuel Cell Technology  Stationary fuel cells are applied in commercial,

residential and industrial primary power generation.  Useful power sources in remote and isolated locations.  Fuel cells systems operating on hydrogen are lightweight, compact and no moving parts.
