About Fuel Cells
Fuel cells like batteries generate electricity from chemical synthesis. The electrochemical reaction in the fuel cell oxidizes the hydrogen, which reacts with oxygen to form water and release electrons. All fuel cells follow a standard design, wherein two electrodes (a porous anode and cathode) are separated by an electrolyte. The electrolyte carries electrically charged particles. To accelerate the electrochemical reaction, a catalyst is used. Fuel cells are categorized by the nature of the electrolyte used.
