 INTRODUCTION TO FUEL
•CELLS
 A device that generates electricity by a chemical
reaction.
• Every fuel cell has two electrodes, the anode and the
cathode.
• Hydrogen is the basic fuel for fuel cells, but fuel
cells also require oxygen.
• As long as a fuel cell is supplied with hydrogen and
oxygen, it will generate electricity.
Historical Review of Fuel Cells
ROBERT
GODDARD :
A MAN AND
HIS ROCKET

On March 16, 1926,

Robert Goddard
successfully launched
the first liquid-fueled
rocket in Auburn,
Mass. .
HOW DOES FUEL
CELL WORK?
 HYDROGEN
FUEL CELL
The cell reaction can be written as follows:
Cathode Reaction: 
O2 + 2H2O + 4e– → 4OH–
Anode Reaction: 
2H2 + 4OH– → 4H2O + 4e–
Net Cell Reaction:
 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
