Title

Running On Empty Fuel Cells To The Rescue?

Abstract

The features, uses and advantages of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells are discussed. PEM fuel cells use an ion exchange membrane as the separator. The membrane provides ionic conduction and prohibits direct reaction of the hydrogen and oxygen at the platinum catalyst. The catalyst layers must allow for effective and balanced transport of gases, electrons and protons. PEM fuel cells offer advantages of reduced greenhouse emissions, reduced reliance on oil reserves, and generation of distributed power from renewable resources.
