Fuel cells are galvanic cells in which the chemical energy of fuel is directly converted into electrical energy. 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 nad hydrogen are continuously fed into the cell. Hydrogen gets oxidized to H^(oplus) which is neutralized by overset(Θ)(OH) , ie., anodic reaction.
