Fuel Cell Basic Chemistry, Electrochemistry and Thermodynamics

A fuel cell is an electrochemical energy converter - it converts chemical energy of fuel, typically hydrogen, directly into electrical energy. Its theoretical efficiency is determined by thermodynamics of its (electro)chemical reactions. Fuel cell actual efficiency is, of course, always lower than the theoretical one, and it depends on the rate of the electrochemical reactions, their kinetics as well as the properties of materials and design of the components used to direct the reactants and take the products away from the reaction sites.
