A fuel cell is an energy conversion device that continuously converts chemical energy in a fuel into electrical energy, as long as both the fuel and oxidant are available. It exhibits advantageous characteristics exceeding conventional combustion-based technologies that are currently applied in certain critical fields, such as electronic, housing power, power plants, passenger vehicles, as well as military applications. Operating with higher efficiency than combustion engines, fuel cells demonstrate an electrical energy conversion efficiency of 60% or more, with lower emissions. Water is the only product of the power generation process in hydrogen fuel cells, and thus there are no carbon dioxide emissions or air pollutants that create smog and cause health problems during operation. Moreover, fuel cells emit low noise during operation, because they contain fewer moving parts. Fuel cells come in many varieties, but they all work in generally the same manner. In essence, a fuel cell consists of three adjacent segments, namely, the anode, electrolyte, and cathode. When hydrogen undergoes an oxidation reaction at the anode (), it generates cations that migrate to the cathode through the electrolyte and free electrons that flow the external circuit. Contrarily, a reduction reaction occurs at the cathode, where oxygen is reduced to water by the cations and electrons (Ralph et al., 1998). The electrochemical reaction that occurs at the cathode is . Based on the type of electrolyte used, fuel cells can be categorized into alkaline fuel cells (AFCs), PEMFCs, phosphoric acid fuel cells (PAFCs), molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs), and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs).
The global Fuel Cells market was valued at US$ 3870.5 million in 2023 and is anticipated to reach US$ 12610 million by 2030, witnessing a CAGR of 18.0% during the forecast period 2024-2030.
