A Study on Advances in Hydrogen Fuel Cells

  • 1. University of Bridgeport

Description

Hydrogen Fuel Cells are similar to batteries both generate electricity but batteries may run dead, on the other hand, a fuel cell will continuously provide electricity as long as hydrogen is provided. It is worth to take note that emissions of fuel cells are heat and water, there are normally no greenhouse gas emissions hydrogen Fuel Cells. There are many types of Hydrogen Fuel cells but most of them consist of anode, cathode and an electrolyte. This editorial paper contends about the generation of the hydrogen fuel cell, the novel catalyst for eco-friendly vehicles, turbocharging fuel cells, an economical and inexpensive fuel cell for power generation, water free and graphene powered fuel cells.
