As the world’s energy landscape undergoes transformation and the goals of “carbon peaking” and “carbon neutrality” are proposed, hydrogen energy, with the highest mass energy density and zero carbon emissions, has garnered increasing attention. Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are currently a highly promising hydrogen energy utilization technology due to their low operating temperature, […]

Electrode reactions refer to the chemical reactions that occur at the electrodes where electrons are either lost or gained. The reaction where electrons are lost is called the anode reaction, and the electrode where this reaction occurs is called the anode. The reaction where electrons are gained is called the cathode reaction, and the electrode

Since the birth of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) in the 1950s, scientists worldwide have never ceased their in-depth research on PEMFCs. This has led to significant advancements in performance, lifespan, and cost, resulting in their widespread application in transportation, portable power sources, and distributed power generation, gradually promoting the commercialization of PEMFCs. As

1. Basic Principles of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells Proton exchange membrane fuel cells, also known as polymer electrolyte fuel cells, are a type of low-temperature fuel cell that operates at relatively low temperatures (typically below 100 degrees Celsius). This makes them highly versatile in their applications, ranging from powering vehicles to providing backup power

Earlier, we introduced the development events of fuel cells. As we can see, the development of fuel cells over time has been diverse, leading to a variety of types and numerous classification methods. However, the most common classification is based on the type of electrolyte, including “proton exchange membrane fuel cells,” “alkaline fuel cells,” “phosphoric

This article will focus on the development history of fuel cells, taking you through some important events in their evolution. Discovery of Water Electrolysis The development of fuel cells cannot be discussed without mentioning William Nicholson and Anthony Carlisle. It was their proposal in 1800 to use electricity to decompose water into hydrogen and oxygen
