The Fuel Cell is a hardware device used in converting

energy (Chemical) of a fuel such as “Natural Gas”, “Hydrogen”,

“Gasoline―. The conversion of chemical energy takes place with the

help of an oxidant such as “Air” or “Oxygen” into an

electricity. There are lot of similarities between Fuel Cell and

Battery in principle, the major difference is Fuel Cell don’t drain

energy and don’t require recharging. The fuel cell will keep generating

energy as long it is supplied fuel and an oxidizer.

Advantages of Fuel Cell First, fuel cell

can convert chemical energy directly into electricity without the

combustion process. Fuel Cells are compact source of electric

power The functioning of Fuel Cell is quit by nature.

            Disadvantage of Fuel

Cell Often requires replaceable fuel supply.

high cost of managing fuel cell it as compared to other fuel sources.

    <b>Types of Fuel Cell</b>

         The partial list of fuel cells Metal

hydride fuel cell - This fuel cell is subclass of a Alkaline fuel Cell.

The research is underway. Electro-galvanic fuel cell - This is

an electrical device used to measure the oxygen gas in equipments such as

medical and scuba diving. Direct formic acid fuel cell -

Application of this fuel cell is in phone and laptop. Zinc-air

battery - The application use of these batteries is in hearing aids,

electrical vehicles etc. Microbial fuel cell Upflow

microbial fuel cell (UMFC) Reversible fuel cell

Direct borohydride fuel cell Alkaline fuel cell -

Direct methanol fuel cell Reformed methanol fuel cell

Direct-ethanol fuel cell Direct formic acid fuel cell

Proton exchange membrane fuel cell Molten carbonate fuel

cell Protonic ceramic fuel cell Planar Solid oxide
