  2. Fuel cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_cell

    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] Fuel cells are different from most batteries in requiring a continuous source of fuel and oxygen (usually ...

  3. 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%.

  4. Proton-exchange membrane fuel cell - Wikipedia

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

    A proton exchange membrane fuel cell transforms the chemical energy liberated during the electrochemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen to electrical energy, as opposed to the direct combustion of hydrogen and oxygen gases to produce thermal energy. A stream of hydrogen is delivered to the anode side of the MEA.

  5. Solid oxide fuel cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_oxide_fuel_cell

    A solid oxide fuel cell (or SOFC) is an electrochemical conversion device that produces electricity directly from oxidizing a fuel. Fuel cells are characterized by their electrolyte material; the SOFC has a solid oxide or ceramic electrolyte. Advantages of this class of fuel cells include high combined heat and power efficiency, long-term ...

  6. Oxidative phosphorylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidative_phosphorylation

    Oxidative phosphorylation (UK / ɒkˈsɪd.ə.tɪv /, US / ˈɑːk.sɪˌdeɪ.tɪv / [1]) or electron transport-linked phosphorylation or terminal oxidation is the metabolic pathway in which cells use enzymes to oxidize nutrients, thereby releasing chemical energy in order to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

  7. Alkaline anion-exchange membrane fuel cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkaline_anion-exchange...

    In an AAEMFC, the fuel, hydrogen or methanol, is supplied at the anode and oxygen through air, and water are supplied at cathode. Fuel is oxidized at anode and oxygen is reduced at cathode. At cathode, oxygen reduction produces hydroxides ions (OH −) that migrate through the electrolyte towards the anode. At anode, hydroxide ions react with ...

  8. Formic acid fuel cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formic_acid_fuel_cell

    Formic acid fuel cells ( direct formic acid fuel cells or DFAFCs) are a subcategory of direct liquid-feed fuel cells (DLFCs), in which the liquid fuel is directly oxidized (electrochemically) at the anode instead of reforming to produce hydrogen. Formic acid-based fuel cells represent a promising energy supply system in terms of high volumetric ...

  9. Microbial fuel cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbial_fuel_cell

    A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a device that converts chemical energy to electrical energy by the action of microorganisms. [11] These electrochemical cells are constructed using either a bioanode and/or a biocathode. Most MFCs contain a membrane to separate the compartments of the anode (where oxidation takes place) and the cathode (where ...
