Fuel Cells

Passive components like resistors, inductors, and capacitors influence the flow of power but do not require an external power source to function. Capacitors are electrostatic components with capacity measured in farads. One farad stores one coulomb of electrical charge when applying one volt.

Investments are being made in new state-of-the-art facilities covering every single process stage of fuel cell production: from membrane coating and stack manufacturing to the production of fuel cell units.

The purpose of this article is to provide a reference document on the current state of official and unofficial fossil fuel bans driving uptake of electric vehicles.

Electrification of the transportation sector — one of the largest consumers of energy in the world — is critical to future energy and environmental resilience. Electrification of this sector will require high-power fuel cells to facilitate the transition to electric vehicles, from cars and trucks to boats and airplanes.

Researchers have made a key advance in solid oxide fuel cells that could make the highly energy-efficient and low-polluting technology a more viable alternative to gasoline combustion engines for powering cars.

An introduction to polymer recycling technologies and biodegradable plastics

Fuel cells able to convert hydrogen into electricity are called to play an important role in the energy transition towards a future with zero-emissions. In reverse mode, electrolysis cells can convert water into hydrogen by using electricity.

Daimler Truck AG and Rolls-Royce plc plan to cooperate on stationary fuel-cell generators as CO2-neutral emergency power generators for safety-critical facilities such as data centers.

The high cost of platinum catalysts used in hydrogen fuel cells limits the commercialization of fuel cell electric vehicles. Scientists are studying alternative catalysts to increase cost-effectiveness and maintain efficiency of hydrogen fuel cells.
