Ever since Volta s first battery in 1800, scientists have been trying to develop bigger and better electrochemical cells. Sir William Robert Grove (1811-96), a lawyer from Wales who had a penchant for experimental science, discovered an interesting cell in 1838. He placed one end of a...

In principle, fuel cells can be considered as batteries that convert chemical energy to electricity without combustion, but instead through electrochemical reactions. The difference between fuel cells and conventional batteries is that fuel cells can run continuously as long as fuels are available for electrochemical reactions, whereas a battery needs to be recharged periodically. The concept of fuel cells was conceived by Sir William Robert Grove, known as the father of the fuel cell, who developed a... 

In 1839, Sir William Robert Grove, a British lawyer and physicist, built the first fuel cell. More than 100 years later, fuel cells finally found a practical application—in space exploration. During short space missions, batteries can provide enough energy to keep the astronauts warm and to run electrical systems. But longer missions need energy for much longer periods of time, and fuel cells are better suited for this than batteries are. Today, fuel cells are critical to the space shuttle missions and to future missions on the international space station.

Grove, Sir William Robert (1811-1896) was a British scientist who in 1839 discovered the principle on which fuel cells are based. His cell, which was composed of two Pt electrodes both half immersed in dilute H2SO4, one electrode fed with O2 and the other with H2, was not a practical method for energy production.
