What do you understand by the term fuel cell?
A fuel cell is a device which converts the energy produced during the combustion of a fuel directly into electrical energy. Dihydrogen gas is used in H2 – O2 fuel cells for generating electrical energy. It should be noted that it has many advantages, for example, it does not produce any pollution and releases more amount of energy per unit mass of fuel as compared to gasoline and other fuels.
