  • A fuel cell is a cell that is continously supplied with an oxidant and a reductant so that if can deliver a current indefinitely. Fuel cells offer the possibility of achieving high thermodynamic efficiency in the conversion of Gibbs energy into mechanical work.Internal combustion engines at best convert only the fraction (T_2-T_1)//T_2 of the heat of combustion into mechanical work. While the thermodynamic efficiency of the fuel cell is given by, eta=(DeltaG)/(DeltaH) , where DeltaG is the Gibbs energy change for the cell reaction and DeltaH is the enthalpy change of the cell reaction.A hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell may have an acidic or alkaline electrolyte.
