What is fuel cell ?
-A fuel cell is a device that converts the chemical energy from a fuel into electricity through a chemical reaction with oxygen or another oxidizing agent.
-Fuels: +Hydrogen ( the most common fuel.)
+Hydrocarbons : natural gas,alcohols ..…..
-Air pollution emissions almost “equal zero”.

Electrochemical Aspects
-The standard free energy change of the fuel cell reaction is indicated by the equation :
∆G = –nFE-
The value of ∆G corresponding :
*∆G= −229 kJ/mol,
*n = 2,
*F = 96500 C/g.mole electron, E = 1.229 V.
The enthalpy change ∆H for a fuel cell reaction:
∆H = –nFEt
-Nernst equation :
E = E0+ (RT/2F) ln [PH2/PH2O] + (RT/2F) ln [PO2 1/2]

-The maximum electrical work obtainable in a fuel cell operating at constant temperature and pressure is given by the change in the Gibbs free energy of the electrochemical reaction:
W = ∆G = –nFE
-The difference between ∆G and ∆H is proportional to the change in entropy ∆S:
∆G = ∆H – T∆S
Thermodynamic Principles

The effect of temperature and pressure on the cell potential:
− ∆V: change in volume,
∆S : entropy change,
E :cell poten-tial,
T:temperature,
P :reactant gas pressure,
n :the number of electrons transferred,
F: Faraday’s constant.
