The fuel eell is a nineteenth eentuiy invention in the twentieth eentury it heeame the heart of an eleetroehemical power plant and power souree, whieh is now in a stage of advaneed technology development. Its first and only applieation since the early 1960s, has been as an auxiliary power souree for spaee flights by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). During the past decade, development for terrestrial (eivihan and defense) applieations has led to its commercialization and research on utilization in a variety of applications. Programs in the United States, Japan, Europe, and some other eoimtries are focused on the development of fuel cell power plant/power sources for (1) base-load,... 

Although liquid hydrogen, LH2, can be used as a fuel source, much of the recent fuel cell research is focusing on the partial oxidation of methanol, natural gas, ethanol, or gasoline to produce the necessary hydrogen. Catalysts that aid in the partial oxidation of these fuels yields a readily available, rich source of hydrogen. Water is the primary exhaust emission produced by fuel cell powered vehicles. If a carbon-based fuel source is utilized, then a carbon-containing by-product will also be produced.

Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that convert chemical energy contained in fuel directly into electrical energy through electrochemical reactions. Fuel cells consist of an anode, where the fuel is oxidized, a cathode where the oxidant is reduced and an electrolyte which separates anode from cathode and conducts ions. The general classification of fuel cells is usually based on the type of electrolyte used, and their operation conditions are typically related to the characteristics of the electrolyte. More detailed discussion of fuel cells as stand-alone power sources can be found in the next chapter of this book.
