15 Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) or Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells (PEFC) This fuel cell operates at a relative low temperature, about 80 C. The energy conversion efficiency, i.e., conversion of the hydrogen energy to electricity is in the order of %. The electrolyte is a solid polymer in form of a thin membrane in which protons are mobile. Promoted and introduced as the power source for vehicles on the ground. Good start up behavior at low temperatures, small and compact. Considered as the power source in portable units as well as in large stationary power plants. The surrounding catalyst is of platinum. Sensitive to the purity of the hydrogen fuel. PEM fuel cells were used on the first manned spacecraft. The platinum catalyst is very costly but nickel tin catalysts have been discovered. As an effect, fuel cells can be a possible substitute for batteries in spacecraft and other applications.
16 Alkaline Fuel Cells (AFC) This has been used in space vehicles for generation of electricity and drinkable water for astronauts. Conversion efficiency is about 70 % and operating temperature is in the range of C. The electrolyte is mainly consisting of potassium hydroxide (KOH). Some interests have also been shown for ground vehicles. An advantage of this fuel cell type is that it is not depending on platinum as the catalyst. Carbon dioxide may affect the conversion and it is generally required that the supplied air and fuel must be free from CO 2 or otherwise pure oxygen and hydrogen must be used. This was fuel cell type was used on the Apollo and Shuttle Orbiter craft.
17 Phosforic Acid Fuel Cells (PAFC) This fuel cell type has been commercially in operation for a while. It has found applications in, e.g., hospitals, hotels, offices, airports and schools. Conversion efficiency is relatively low, about %. Operating temperature is in the range of C. Both electricity and steam can be taken care of. The electrolyte is an acid of phosphor. This fuel cell type shows patience against pollutions being accompanied with the hydrogen fuel particularly at high temperatures. At low temperature, carbon monoxide may damage the platinum layer on the catalyst. Units of this fuel cell type are often big and heavy but the technology is regarded as mature.
18 Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) This fuel cell type is regarded as a candidate for large units even at remote locations. Applications as Auxiliary Power Units (APUs) in vehicles. The electrolyte is in solid state and commonly made in a hard ceramic material based on zirconium oxide. The operating temperature is high, around 1000 C. Due to the high operating temperature, high reaction rates can be achieved without expensive catalysts and that gases, e.g., natural gas can be used directly or being internally reformed without the need of a separate unit. The conversion efficiency is about 60 %. It may also be integrated with a steam turbine to generate additional electricity. It does not necessarily require pure hydrogen as the fuel.
19 Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells (MCFC) Electrolyte consists of a melt of carbonates of lithium, sodium and potassium. The conversion efficiency is about 60 % and operating temperature is about 650 C. It needs carbon dioxide in the air to work. The high operating temperature means that a good reaction rate is achieved by using a relatively cheap catalyst, namely nickel. Nickel also forms the basis of the electrode. Its simplicity is partly offset by the nature of the electrolyte which is a hot and corrosive mixture of lithium, potassium and sodium carbonates. Similar to other high temperature fuel cells, it can be combined with a steam turbine to generate additional electricity.itcanbeoperatedwithotherhydrogencarriersthanpurehydrogen. The high temperature operation, as for SOFCs, may have a severe effect on the cell components.
20 Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (DMFC) This is a variant of the PEMFC but methanol is reacting directly in the anode instead of in a separate reformer upstream the fuel cell. The conversion efficiency is about % and the operating temperature is in the range of C. The loss in the reformer is eliminated. It may find applications in portable computers and mobile phones.
21 Reversible Fuel Cells A cell which can be operated both as a fuel cell and as an electrolyzer is called a reversible fuel cell. In case of surplus of electricity from wind or solar, the cell can be operated to generate hydrogen by electrolysis of water. As it operates in the fuel cell mode it uses the hydrogen as the fuel and generates electricity.
22 Proton Ceramic Fuel Cells Under development. The idea is that the ceramic electrolyte should be able to conduct protons. The operating temperature is about 700 C and hydrogen is oxidized directly at the anode. A reformer is not needed. This fuel cell type is believed to be able to combine the advantages of the high temperature fuel cells and the PEMFC due to the use of a ceramic electrolyte.
23 FC Aerospace applications Another type of fuel cell using novel fuel and oxidizer has also been investigated for space power systems. This is due to a revival interest of hydrogen peroxide in aerospace power applications. Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) has been used directly at the cathode. The fuel on the anode side has been hydrogen gas and an aqueous NaBH 4 solution. It has been found that the direct utilization of H 2 O 2 and NaBH 4 at the electrodes resulted in about 30 % higher voltage output compared to a regular H 2 O 2 fuel cell. Both NaBH 4 and H 2 O 2 are in aqueous form and the combination has some operational advantages. A Nafion membrane is used as the electrolyte. The catalysts are commonly platinum based. The carbon substrate is here called reactant diffusion layer instead of gas diffusion layer because the peroxide reactant is in liquid phase. The design becomes compact and it is ideal for space applications where a high energy density fuel is required and air is not available.

28 Electrochemical kinetics Studies of electrochemical kinetics is important for design and operation of fuel cells. The electron transfer rate at the electrodes or the current produced by the fuel cell depends on the rate of electrochemical reaction. The processes governing the electrode reaction rates are the mass transfer between the bulk solution and the electrode surface, the electron transfer at the electrode, and the chemical reactions involving electron transfer.
29 Heat and mass transfer A number of transport processes occur in a fuel cell. The reactant gases flow through the gas flow channels and reactant gas species are transported from the gas flow channels and through the porous electrodes. Ions are transported through the membranes or electrolyte and electrons are transported through electrodes and interconnects. Poor transport of heat and mass contributes to the fuel cell losses and performance. Charge transport contributes to ohmic losses and the mass transfer of the reactant gases impacts the mass transfer losses.
30 Charge and water transport Electrons and ions are produced and consumed in two electrochemical reactions at the anode-electrolyte and cathodeelectrolyte interfaces. The electrons are transported through the electrodes and interconnect to the external electric circuit. Ions are transported through the electrolyte from the electrode where it is produced to the electrode where it is consumed. Ohmic voltage losses are caused by the resistances to the motion of ions through the electrolyte as well as electrons through the electrodes, interconnect materials, and contact interfaces. Ion transport is also important for the transport of water in PEM fuel cells.
