There are at least 6 types of fuel cells:
-
3 with acid electrolytes (H + ions migrating from anode to cathode):
PEMFC (Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell): the electrolyte consists of a solid polymer membrane operating at low temperatures (20 - 100°C). This selectively transmits to the cathode the H + ions formed by catalytic oxidation of hydrogen injected directly onto the anode;
DMFC (Direct Methanol Fuel Cell): instead of hydrogen, these cells use methanol (CH 3 OH) as fuel. Injected directly onto the anode with water, its catalytic oxidation produces H + ions and carbon dioxide. As with PEMFCs,...
