Hydrogen fuel cell is a power generation device that converts the chemical energy of hydrogen and oxygen directly into electrical energy. Its basic principle is the reverse reaction of electrolytic water, which supplies hydrogen and oxygen to the anode and cathode respectively. After hydrogen diffuses outward through the anode and reacts with the electrolyte, electrons are released to reach the cathode through the external load.
pollution-free
Hydrogen fuel cells have no pollution to the environment. It uses electrochemical reaction instead of combustion (gasoline, diesel) or energy storage (battery) – the most typical traditional backup power scheme. Combustion will release pollutants such as COx, NOx, SOx gas and dust. As mentioned above, fuel cells only produce water and heat. If hydrogen is generated by renewable energy (photovoltaic panels, wind power generation, etc.), the whole cycle is a process that completely does not produce harmful substances.
No noise
The hydrogen fuel cell operates quietly and the noise is only about 55dB, which is equivalent to the level of normal conversation. This makes fuel cells suitable for indoor installation or outdoor places with limited noise
high efficiency
The power generation efficiency of hydrogen fuel cell can reach more than 50%, which is determined by the conversion nature of fuel cell. It directly converts chemical energy into electrical energy without intermediate conversion of thermal energy and mechanical energy (generator).
