Fuel Cells and their Functionality

ByHomework Help Classof1

Fuel cell is an electrochemical cell that turns chemical energy from a fuel into electric energy. Electricity is produced from the reaction between a fuel supply and an oxidizing agent. The reactants flow into a cell, and the reaction products flow out of it, while the electrolyte stays inside it. Fuel cells can function constantly as long as the required reactant and oxidant flows are maintained. Fuel cells are varied from traditional electrochemical cell batteries in that they consume reactant from an external source which must be replenished as thermodynamically open system.
