explain how fuel cells are commonly categorized
Ceramic Fuel Cells was created in 1992.
Ceramic Fuel Cells's population is 150.
Fuel conversion cells are made from platinum and convert the material going through the device into heat and electric power (about equally). The element used is often hydrogen. Hydrogen comes from many places, but the practical commercially viable method in use is from stripping all other elements from natural gas. This means that the hydrogen used in most applications is a fossil fuel. This does not mean it must be this way though. Hydrogen could be obtained through the chemical stripping of water into hydrogen and oxygen. This would make fuel cells non fossil fuel based.
no because hydrogen fuel cells are renewable
fuel cells converts chemical energy to eletrical power and the only waste product for fuel cells is water
Some pros of fuel cells are that it is: -efficient -produces no odor, no noise -reliable -environmentally friendly -is indefinetely renewable, as long as hydrogen is harvested Some cons of fuel cells are: - fuel cells are expensive -you have to harvest hydrogen, which is hard -The volume of the fuel cells are larger than the average internal combustion engine.

The only byproduct of an oxygen and hydrogen fuel cell is water. There are other less common types of fuel cells, such as zinc and air cells, which do produce other byproducts.
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.
Yes. Mass producing cars is not the problem. The fuel for fuel cells is too expensive, so far.
