Fuel cells : Fuel cells are galvanic cells in which the chemical energy of fuel cell is directly converted into electrical energy. A type of fuel cell is a hydrogen - oxygen fuel cell. It consists of two electrodes made up of two porous graphite impregnated with a catalyst ( platinum, silver, or metal oxide ). The electrodes are placed in aqueous solution of NaOH . Oxygen and hydrogen are continuously fed into the cell. Hydrogen gets oxidized to H^(o+) which is neutralized by overset(c-)(O)H, i.e., anodic reaction. At cathode, O_(2) gets reduced to overset(c-)(O)H Hence, the net reaction is The overall reaction has DeltaH=-285.6 kJ mol^(-1) and DeltaG=-237.4 kJ mol^(-1) at 25^(@)C If the cell voltage is 1.23V for the H_(2)-O_(2) fuel cell and for the half cell :
