چکیده
Even today, some types of fuel cells have been already used in practical applications such as combined heat and power generation applications and space vehicle applications. Though research and development activities are still required, the fuel cell technology is one of the most important technologies that allow us to draw the environment friendly society in the twenty-first century. This section describes the general introduction of fuel cell technology with a brief overview of the principle of fuel cells and their historical background.

The speaker discussed two important applications of electrochemistry in Nanochemistry – Energy generation and Biosensors. He emphasized the need for cleaner energy to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Fuel cells have become a subject of intense study in this respect. The hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell was considered as a case in point. Several challenges and solutions with respect to their use in t...
متن کاملCharacterization of Alloy Electrocatalysts by Combined Low-Energy Ion Scattering Spectroscopy and Electrochemistry
A fuel cell can be thought of as a cold-combustion power source that generates electrical energy directly from (stored) chemical energy. Due to minimal heat transfers, it is unfettered by conversion-efficiency limitations characteristic of hot-combustion devices. Unlike batteries, but similar to internal combustion engines, a fuel cell is a continuous-flow system in which fuel and oxidant are e...

متن کاملThe Electrochemistry of Gases : New Sensing Opportunities
Electrochemistry on gases originated in 1839 with Grove's "gaseous voltaic battery". Over 90 years later, Bacon built a demonstration fuel cell consisting of porous nickel electrodes. He is credited with creating a stable three phase reaction zone of electrode, gas, and electrolyte. Today's fuel cell electrodes are far more sophisticated and lend themselves to other important electrochemical pr...
