el CellsA fuel cell is a galvanic cell that uses traditional combustive fuels, most often hydrogen or methane, that are continuously fed into the cell along with an oxidant. (An alternative, but not very popular, name for a fuel cell is a flow battery.) Within the cell, fuel and oxidant undergo the same redox chemistry as when they are combusted, but via a catalyzed electrochemical that is significantly more efficient. For example, a typical hydrogen fuel cell uses graphite electrodes embedded with platinum-based catalysts to accelerate the two half-cell reactions:

Research the chemical principles in the use of electrochemical cells/fuel cells in carsThe modern world relies heavily on the portable power of galvanic cells, more commonly referred toas batteries. The concept of using a chemical reaction in a battery to generate electricity was firstdemonstrated in 1800 by Alessandro Volta. Today, galvanic cells in their many diverse forms are anessential part of our daily lives. The continuing development of more efficient galvanic cells is anactive area of scientific research. In particular, current research and development in the area oflithium-ion battery technology and hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell technology aim to produce a potentiallylower émission alternative to the internal combustion engine curently used in most motor vehicles.What you need to do ?Do a research study on the electrochemical and fuel cells used for motor vehicles and make aPowerPoint presentation
