A fuel cell is a cell that is continuously supplied with an oxidant and a reductant so that it can deliver a current indefinitely. Fuel cell 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 heat of combustion into mechanical work. While the thermodynamic efficiency of the fuel cell is give 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. This efficiency can be upto 80%-90% also in contrast to normal heat engine efficiency which are generally about 40% Fuel cells may be classified according to the temperature range in wich they operate low temperature (25 to 100^(@)C ), medium temperature (100 to 500^(@)C) ), high temperature (500 "to" 1000^(@)C) and very high temperature is that catalyst for the various steps in the process are not so necessary. Polarization of a fuel cell reduces the current. Polarization is the result of slow reactions or processes such as diffusion in the cell.
