In a PEM fuel cell, the hydrogen is fed by a tank from (A); their electrons are extracted and forced into (B), where their movement generates electricity; the parts later react with oxygen to form water, in part expelled (C) and in part used to cool the device.
Article Summary
Known mainly for their potential application in hydrogen cars, fuel cells are a promising technology with several unresolved issues, including working temperatures. Scientist at the University of Calgary have discovered a new material that allows a common kind of fuel cell to work at higher temperatures, increasing efficiency while decreasing manufacturing costs.
