Fuel Cells
Fuel Cells convert an electrochemical reaction to electticity. There are applications that are sationary, portable and those used in transportation. All Fuel Cells are composed of an anode, cathode and electrolyte and are typically characterized by the composition of he electrolyte. The most common is the Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM). Others are Phospheric Acid (PAFC), Solid Oxide (SOFC), Molten Carbonate (MCFC) and Direct Methane (DMFC).
500 Questions
What are the two gases used to produce electricity in fuel cells?
Asked by Wiki User
The two gases used to produce electricity in fuel cells are hydrogen (H2) as the fuel and oxygen (O2) as the oxidant. In a fuel cell, hydrogen is fed to the anode (negative electrode) and oxygen is supplied to the cathode (positive electrode), where they react to produce water, heat, and electricity through an electrochemical process called the oxidation-reduction reaction.
Which cell can produce hydrogen gas fuel by using electricity to decompose water?

What has to be done before hydrogen fuel cells can be practical for general use in automobiles?
Asked by Wiki User
What type of vehicles would use hydrogen fuel?
Asked by Wiki User
There are a few different types of vehicles that use hydrogen fuel. You can find cars and other forms of transport that use hydrogen, but the biggest consumer would have to be hydrogen fueled space rockets.
What are fuel cells in a neclear reactor?
Asked by Wiki User
Fuel cells are an important part of a nuclear reactor. The component that powers the nuclear reactor is the reactor core and the fuel cells are found inside and hold uranium dioxide.
