Results for tag: "Alkaline Fuel Cell"

The Alkaline Fuel Cell (AFC) is a type of fuel cell that uses an alkaline electrolyte solution to generate electricity. It is one of the oldest and most reliable fuel cell technologies, and is used in a variety of applications, including stationary power, transportation, and portable power. AFCs are typically composed of a fuel cell stack, an electrolyte solution, and a catalyst. The fuel cell stack is composed of a series of cells connected in series, each containing an anode and a cathode. The electrolyte solution is typically composed of potassium hydroxide, and the catalyst is typically composed of platinum. AFCs offer several advantages over other fuel cell technologies, including high efficiency, low cost, and long life. They are also relatively easy to maintain and operate. However, AFCs are limited in their power output, and are not suitable for applications that require high power output. Several companies are involved in the Alkaline Fuel Cell market, including Ballard Power Systems, Hydrogenics, Plug Power, and SFC Energy. Show Less Read more
