The Principle and Significance of Fuel Cell
It works when the oxidant and reducing agent can be continuously imported from the outside, while the electrode reaction products continue to discharge the battery, the energy of the fuel combustion reaction of chemical energy can be directly converted into electrical energy, with high energy conversion, sustainable use of the advantages.
It is precisely because of these outstanding advantages, fuel cell technology research and development much attention of governments and large companies, is considered the 21st century preferred clean and efficient power generation technology.
The main principle is: fuel cell temperature by electrochemical way directly to the chemical energy into electricity. It does not go through the heat engine process and is therefore not subject to the Kano cycle, with high energy conversion efficiency (40-60%); almost no emissions of NOx and SOx.
A fuel cell is an electrochemical generator. It is different from the conventional sense of the battery.
