TYPES OF CELLS
2Ni(OH)2(s) + 2OH(aq)
Cell reaction:
For many years little was done to develop fuel cells for
commercial purposes.
On the cathode side, oxygen gas (O2) is forced through the catalyst

It was developed in 1980s.
Typically used for stationary power generation
It consists of two electrodes of porous conducting material
(commonly nickel) to collect charge ,with concentrated
phosphoric acid filled between them , to work as
electrolyte.
Platinum catalyst is added to both electrode to enhance the
rate of the reaction.
At cathode:
1/2O2 + 2H+ + 2e- H2O
At cathode:
Transportation
Consumer Electronics
Food preservation
Notebook computers
Hybrid vehicles
