FOCUS ON FUEL CELLS
OUR PRESENT LIFESTYLE CANNOT DO AWAY WITH FOSSIL FUEL ENERGY
SOURCES IMMEDIATELY.
BUT, ADOPTING ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEMS WITH HIGHER EFICIENCY WILL
REDUCE THE GAS GENERATION.
FUEL CELLS MEET THIS REQUIREMENT ADEQUATELY.
ALSO, BEING A COMBUTIONLESS SYSTEM THERE IS NO EMISSSION OF SOX/NOX.

Parts of a Fuel Cell• Anode
– Negative post of the fuel cell. – Conducts the electrons that are freed from the hydrogen molecules so that they
can be used in an external circuit. – Etched channels disperse hydrogen gas over the surface of catalyst.
• Cathode– Positive post of the fuel cell– Etched channels distribute oxygen to the surface of the catalyst.– Conducts electrons back from the external circuit to the catalyst– Recombine with the hydrogen ions and oxygen to form water.
• Electrolyte– Proton exchange membrane.– Specially treated material, only conducts positively charged ions.– Membrane blocks electrons.
• Catalyst – Special material that facilitates reaction of oxygen and hydrogen– Usually platinum powder very thinly coated onto carbon paper or cloth.– Rough & porous maximizes surface area exposed to hydrogen or oxygen

Fuel Cell Operation
• Pressurized hydrogen gas (H2) enters cell on anode side.
• Gas is forced through catalyst by pressure. – When H2 molecule comes contacts platinum catalyst, it splits into two
H+ ions and two electrons (e-).
• Electrons are conducted through the anode– Make their way through the external circuit (doing useful work such as
turning a motor) and return to the cathode side of the fuel cell.
• On the cathode side, oxygen gas (O2) is forced through the catalyst– Forms two oxygen atoms, each with a strong negative charge. – Negative charge attracts the two H+ ions through the membrane, – Combine with an oxygen atom and two electrons from the external
circuit to form a water molecule (H2O).

CONCLUSION………
Current worldwide electric power production is based on a centralized, grid-dependent network structure. This system has several disadvantages such as high emissions, transmission losses, long lead times for plant construction, and large and long term financing requirements .
Fuel cells have many advantages over conventional power generating equipment: high efficiency, low emissions, siting flexibility, high reliability, low maintenance, excellent part-load performance, modularity, and multi-fuel capability. Because of their efficiency and environmental advantages, fuel cell technologies are viewed as an attractive 21st century solution to energy problems.
