  2. Fuel cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_cell

    Demonstration model of a direct methanol fuel cell (black layered cube) in its enclosure Scheme of a proton-conducting fuel cell. A fuel cell is an electrochemical cell that converts the chemical energy of a fuel (often hydrogen) and an oxidizing agent (often oxygen) [1] into electricity through a pair of redox reactions. [2]

  3. Solid oxide fuel cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_oxide_fuel_cell

    The planar fuel cell design geometry is the typical sandwich type geometry employed by most types of fuel cells, where the electrolyte is sandwiched in between the electrodes. SOFCs can also be made in tubular geometries where either air or fuel is passed through the inside of the tube and the other gas is passed along the outside of the tube.

  4. Alkaline fuel cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkaline_fuel_cell

    The alkaline fuel cell (AFC), also known as the Bacon fuel cell after its British inventor, Francis Thomas Bacon, is one of the most developed fuel cell technologies. Alkaline fuel cells consume hydrogen and pure oxygen, to produce potable water, heat, and electricity. They are among the most efficient fuel cells, having the potential to reach 70%.

  5. Direct methanol fuel cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_methanol_fuel_cell

    Direct methanol fuel cell. Direct methanol fuel cells or DMFCs are a subcategory of proton-exchange membrane fuel cells in which methanol is used as the fuel and a special proton-conducting polymer as the membrane (PEM). Their main advantage is low temperature operation and the ease of transport of methanol, an energy-dense yet reasonably ...

  6. Fuel cell vehicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_cell_vehicle

    A fuel cell vehicle (FCV) or fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) is an electric vehicle that uses a fuel cell, sometimes in combination with a small battery or supercapacitor, to power its onboard electric motor. Fuel cells in vehicles generate electricity generally using oxygen from the air and compressed hydrogen.

  7. Proton-exchange membrane fuel cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton-exchange_membrane...

    Proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), also known as polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells, are a type of fuel cell being developed mainly for transport applications, as well as for stationary fuel-cell applications and portable fuel-cell applications. Their distinguishing features include lower temperature/pressure ranges (50 to ...

  8. Solid oxide electrolyzer cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_oxide_electrolyzer_cell

    SOEC 60 cell stack. A solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) is a solid oxide fuel cell that runs in regenerative mode to achieve the electrolysis of water (and/or carbon dioxide) [1] by using a solid oxide, or ceramic, electrolyte to produce hydrogen gas [2] (and/or carbon monoxide) and oxygen.

  9. Molten carbonate fuel cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_carbonate_fuel_cell

    Scheme of a molten-carbonate fuel cell. Molten-carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs) are high-temperature fuel cells that operate at temperatures of 600 °C and above.. Molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs) were developed for natural gas, biogas (produced as a result of anaerobic digestion or biomass gasification), and coal-based power plants for electrical utility, industrial, and military applications.
