Alkaline fuel cell electrical efficiency

As the synergistic hydrogen production process using natural gas and nuclear heat is efficient and economic, and also the subsequent electro-chemical conversion of hydrogen into electricity in an alkaline fuel cell is efficient, electricity generation by combining these two processes have the following possibilities ... 

Fuel cells as clean and efficient energy devices convert chemical energy in a fuel directly into electricity via electrochemical reactions. Several types of fuel cells, such as phosphoric acid (PAFC), proton exchange membrane (PEMFC), molten carbonate (MCFC), solid oxide (SOFC), and alkaline fuel cells (AFCs), have been... 

In the 1950s already, the Austrian battery specialist Karl Kordesch built a rather efficient zinc air battery with a new type of carbon-air electrode. In later work at the American company Union Carbide, he developed a fuel cell with alkaline electrolyte using multilayer carbon electrodes with a small amount of platinum on the hydrogen side, and with cobalt oxide on the oxygen side. Kordesh put a battery of such foel cells into his car and was the first person to regularly use an electric car with fuel cells (Kordesch, 1963).
