Passengers will receive an explanation of the principles of all technological systems in a simple form, first of all of the fuel system, fuel, battery and their collaboration. The immediate reduction of the emissions (compared with similar fossil-based drive) as well as its total value over the whole period of operation will be shown in user friendly form. 

When the binary rare-earth oxide fluorides are utilized in a solid-state fuel battery, they must often withstand at a high temperature of around 1000°C to exhibit sufficient oxide ion mobility, i.e. to supply appropriate electrical current. These... 

RE2CUO4 perovskites exhibit important and varying magnetic and electrical characteristics, and they are broadly studied as potential high-Tc superconductive materials. At room temperature, they show p-type semiconducting behaviors, and are used as electrode materials in fuel batteries. The catalytic properties of the perovskite oxides also make them effective in various oxidation and reduction reaction, hence they are considered as promising substitutes to the classical Pt/Rh-based catalysts applied to automotive pollution control. 

Particularly noteworthy is the fact that the bottom-up approach has created new materials and functions which may open up commercial applications. For example, the gas-absorption property of nanoporous coordination materials, which are spontaneously formed from metals and relatively simple ligands in a very efficient fashion, has been explored only in recent years, and are becoming very promising candidates for hydrogen storage for fuel batteries. 

As for anaerobic bacteria, hydrogen production by Clostridium butyricum from alcohol fermentation water waste has been investigated and use of produced hydrogen for fuel battery has been attempted and a maximal electricity of 13 W was obtained. 

Fuel cells. In the fuel-cell mode of operation, reactants are continuously fed into the cell (or battery) while reaction products are continuously removed. Hence, fuel cells (the more appropriate term of fuel battery is not commonly used) can deliver current continuously for a considerable length of time, which largely depends on external reactant storage.

Apart from the undesirable consequences mentioned above, methanol crossover also has some useful influence (small, to be true) on DMFC operation. Methanol that has diffused to the cathode will be chemically oxidized by oxygen to CO2 (i.e., without generating current) under the inflnence of the platinum catalyst. This reaction produces additional heat, and this heat may serve to accelerate startup of a cold fuel battery. 

A number of variants of fuel cells with alkahne electrolyte having a simpler design and milder working conditions (temperature and pressure) than the Bacon ceU were built and used in different applications. This work culminated in a number of fuel battery versions used in NASA s Apollo spacecraft and space shuttles (details in Chapter 6).
