The hydrogen fuel cell operates similar to a battery. It has two electrodes, an anode and a cathode, separated by a membrane. Oxygen passes over one electrode and hydrogen over the other.The hydrogen reacts to a catalyst on the electrode anode that converts the hydrogen gas into negatively charged electrons (e-) and positively charged ions.The electrons flow out of the cell to be used as electrical energy. The hydrogen ions move through the electrolyte membrane to the cathode electrode where they combine with oxygen and the electrons to produce water. Unlike batteries, fuel cells never run out. In principle, a fuel cell operates like a battery. Unlike a battery, a fuel cell does not run down or require recharging. It will produce energy in the form of electricity and heat as long as fuel is supplied.
What else can I help you with?
How do hydrogen cars work?
The success of the hydrogen car is because the the hydrogen fuel cell. This cell converts hydrogen into electricity and powers the car and the only byproduct is heat and water.
What is the byproduct of hydrogen fuel cell?
Water is the benefit of a hydrogen fuel cell ;)
How does cell get ATP the energy currency that does work in living thing?
Mitochondria make it from ADP by burning hydrogen.
How does hydrogen fuel cell differ from electrochemical cell?
A hydrogen fuel cell is a type of electrochemical cell that produces electricity by combining hydrogen and oxygen to generate power. The key difference is that in a hydrogen fuel cell, the reactants (hydrogen and oxygen) are continuously supplied externally to sustain the electricity generation process, while in a typical electrochemical cell, the reactants are contained within the cell and eventually get depleted.
What does the mitochondria work with in the cell?
Oxygen and ADP diffuse in, 2 and 3 carbon chains are folded in to get the hydrogen (for fuel).
Where is the hydrogen cell used in the US?
Hydrogen engines.
Which is larger a living cell or an atom of hydrogen?
A living cell is much larger than an atom of hydrogen. A living cell can be as much 10,000 times larger in size compared to a single hydrogen atom.
Which arrangement of hydrogen ions allows work to be done?
In order for hydrogen ions to do work , their concentration on each side of the membrane must be different. When the concentrations are the same the system is at equilibrium and can not do work.
Are all hydrogen cars with fuel cell or they are some hydrogen cars without fuel cell?
There are no commercially available hydrogen fueled cars.
What is fuel cell hydrogen?
The fuel cell hydrogen is one of the two gasses, that are created by the seperations of a water molecule H2O. A water molecule consists of H - hydrogen, and O - oxygen. A fuel cell hydrogen is the gas created by the separation of a water molecule with the help of a fuel cell.
Is Hydrogen Fuel Cells supposed to be capitalized?
No. Hydrogen fuel cell is not a title. You would only capitalize hydrogen if it was at the beginning of a sentence, as I did with this one. Otherwise, you would say 'hydrogen fuel cell'.
How do hydrogen fuel cell cars work?
Hydrogen fuel cell cars are simply electric cars with a different kind of battery. The hydrogen that is stored in a tank runs to the (in this example case) Proton Exchange Membrane, where the hydrogen nucleus, a proton, passes through the membrane, while the electrons must stay behind. To get back to the hydrogen atoms, which are already mingling with oxygen atoms, the electrons pass around the membrane and are captured in an electrical circuit and forced to do work (like run a motor) before they can be reunited with the hydrogen and oxygen. once reunited, the resulting chemical is just hydrogen and oxygen; water.
