They're trying to, but so far they're still too complicated and expensive for everything but very special applications.
Hydrogen peroxide can be used in certain types of fuel cells called direct borohydride fuel cells. In these fuel cells, hydrogen peroxide is used as an oxidant in place of oxygen. However, the efficiency and practicality of using hydrogen peroxide in fuel cells is still being researched and developed.
There are currently no Fuel Cell vehicles being sold to the public. Only prototypes have been built.
explain how fuel cells are commonly categorized
Ceramic Fuel Cells was created in 1992.
Ceramic Fuel Cells's population is 150.
no because hydrogen fuel cells are renewable
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]
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.

A voltaic cell that uses a fuel substance undergoing oxidation to produce electrical energy continuously is known as a fuel cell. Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that convert chemical energy from a fuel into electricity through redox reactions, with hydrogen or hydrogen-containing compounds being common fuel sources. Unlike batteries, fuel cells can operate continuously as long as the fuel and oxidizer are supplied.
