What is the basic difference between solar cells and fuel cells?
A fuel cell is an electrochemical energy conversion device whiles a solar cell is a device that converts photons from the sun into electricity.
How is a fuel cell different from a typical cell?
A fuel cell oxidizes a fuel source, a standard cell is an electrochemical reaction.
Does potato power technically count as a fuel cell because of its electrochemical processes and solid fuel source?
Potato power does not technically count as a fuel cell because of its electrochemical processes and solid fuel source.
What is a biological fuel cell?
A biological fuel cell is another term for a microbial fuel cell, a bio-electrochemical system which drives a current by mimicking bacterial interactions found in nature.
Can the metal plates in an electrochemical cell be made of the same metal?
Historically, no, each metal has its own redox potential and it is the difference between them that causes the flow of electrons with the electrolyte carrying the charge in the cell and the circuit between the metals that carries them outside the cell. However, there are now cells that do not use the metals to create the electrochemical potentials where the metals are only conductors wherein the metals are where the electrochemical reactions take place, but are not reactants. These have to have a membrane between the two reaction compartments to keep the two reactants from reacting in solution or in the gaseous state. These are more often referred to as batteries in my opinion, or as fuel cells.
What is the electrochemical corrosion and explain the mechanism of rust forming in acid?
methanol-oxygen fuel cell
What are Electrochemical fuel cells?
Lots of things have an electrochemical cell in them. That electrochemical cell is a battery. You cell phone has at least two of them. There is a small one that "keeps alive" memory if you remove the primary battery. A flashlight has a cell or cells in it. We could go on all day. Motor vehicles have a battery, which is a collection of electrochemical cells. Note that a battery could be composed of a single cell, like the "AAA", "AA", "C" and "D" cells. We call them batteries, but they are a single electrochemical cell. A 9-volt battery, on the other hand, has several cells in it stacked in series so their voltages add. That car battery we mentioned is 6 electrochemical cells "long" so that the voltages will sum to the 12 volts (which is actually a bit over 13 volts).
What is the difference between Benthic Microbial Fuel Cell Microbial Fuel Cells Is there a difference?
Benthic Microbial Fuel Cells are basically a microbial fuel cell. Instead of the anode being placed deep into sediment [MFC]- the anode is placed in a chamber where monitored amounts of neutrients/fresh water can enter and be controlled [BFMC]
What is the difference between battery and fuel cell?
Fuel cells and batteries are similar because they use a chemical reaction to provide electricity. A battery stores the chemical reactants, usually metal compounds like lithium, zinc or manganese. Once used up, you must recharge or throw away the battery. A fuel cell actually creates electricity through reactants (hydrogen and oxygen) stored externally. The fuel cell will produce electricity as long as it has a fuel supply. In short, a fuel cell vehicle is refueled instead of recharged.
What is a device that transforms electrical energy?
A battery or a fuel cell converts chemical energy directly to electrical energy
What is the difference between a blue and white fuel injector for a 1987 Ford Tempo GL and can they be exchanged for each other?
difference is fuel flow rate. between 19 and 39 lbs. of fuel per hour. interchange??yes, fuel mileage will be different but they will fit.
What is the difference between an oxidizing agent and a fuel?
An oxidizing agent supplies oxygen, and a fuel consumes oxygen.
