Hydrogen-Oxygen fuel cell

• H-O fuel cell reaction type

  Exothermic (produce heat)
• How it works:

  1. H2 & O2 molecules go in
  2. H2 loses electrons
  3. 2H+ meets up with O2
  4. Combine
  5. H2O is the product
• H-O fuel cell advantages

  • More efficient
  • More energy/unit
  • Doesn't produce pollutants
  • No power lost during transmission
• H-O fuel cell disadvantages

  • Expensive materials
  • Difficult to store & handle (high pressure tank)
  • Hydrogen is expensive to produce
