Özet

Fuel cells are clean energy-converting devices that directly convert the chemical energy of the fuel into electrical energy accompanied by an oxidant. Thanks to their prominent features, including their quiet operation, modularity, and high energy efficiency, they have a broad range of use. As fuel cells generate energy through electrochemical processes, their operating conditions may be similar to those of conventional batteries. However, the characteristic that most distinguishes fuel cells from conventional batteries is their ability to continuously produce energy without requiring recharging. Moreover, only water vapor, heat, and electricity are formed in fuel cells when hydrogen is employed as fuel. Fuel cells can produce very different strengths to power systems as large as a power station and as small as a laptop or electronic device. Therefore, this chapter investigates the operating principle of a fuel cell, the classification of fuel cells, and the basic properties of each fuel cell. © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
