Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells
Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) are a type of fuel cell that converts chemical energy from hydrogen and oxygen into electricity. They use a solid polymer membrane as an electrolyte, allowing only protons to pass through while blocking electrons. This process generates electricity, water, and heat as byproducts, making PEMFCs efficient and environmentally friendly.
PEMFCs are commonly used in various applications, including hydrogen-powered vehicles and portable power systems. Their ability to operate at low temperatures and provide quick start-up times makes them suitable for transportation and backup power solutions.
