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. Home fuel cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_fuel_cell

   A commercially working cell in Japan called Eni-Farm is supported by the regional government, using natural gas to power up the fuel cell that then produces electricity and heated water. In 2013, 64% of global sales of the micro-combined heat and power fuel cell passed the conventional mechanical rotary systems in sales in 2012.

4. Direct methanol fuel cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 stable liquid at all ...

5. Alkaline anion-exchange membrane fuel cell - Wikipedia

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

   The alkaline fuel cell used by NASA in 1960s for Apollo and Space Shuttle program generated electricity at nearly 70% efficiency using aqueous solution of KOH as an electrolyte. In that situation, CO 2 coming in through oxidant air stream and generated as by product from oxidation of methanol, if methanol is the fuel, reacts with electrolyte ...

6. 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 ...

7. Membrane electrode assembly - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membrane_electrode_assembly

   This configuration allows for efficient proton conduction and effective gas diffusion, making it suitable for various applications, including fuel cell vehicles and portable power systems. Research has shown that 5-layer MEAs can provide improved performance under different operating conditions, making them a preferred choice in the industry.

8. Automotive battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_battery

   A typical 12 V, 40 Ah lead-acid car battery. An automotive battery, or car battery, is a rechargeable battery that is used to start a motor vehicle.. Its main purpose is to provide an electric current to the electric-powered starting motor, which in turn starts the chemically-powered internal combustion engine that actually propels the vehicle.

9. Direct borohydride fuel cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_borohydride_fuel_cell

   DBFCs could be produced more cheaply than a traditional fuel cell because they do not need expensive platinum catalysts. In addition, they have a higher power density.The high operating voltage of a DBFC reduces the number of cells (in a series circuit) needed in a stack to achieve a desired rated voltage and thus reduces the stack costs considerably.
