By stacking several fuel cells together, enough electricity can be generated to power a car or a bus. Fuel cells also can be used as stationary power and heat sources in residential and commercial settings. There are several hurdles to the commercial deployment of fuel cells in vehicles and for stationary sources cost (vehicle, fuel, and operating), fuel cell durability, safety issues, customer acceptance, and infrastructure development.

Figure 8.23 reports one of the simulation results which illustrates the importance of accounting for the interaction between mechanisms when modeling PEMFCs this concerns a simulated PEMFC anode based on PtCo catalyst, operating with H2 + CO mixtures. In this case, CO presence enhances Co dissolution and thus decreases the fuel cell durability.
