What is the main idea of Electrolytic cells
Eapp > Ecell
4
New cards
Why do you need to apply more power than you get out?
bc you always lose some energy as heat
5
New cards
Fuel cell definition
a continuous rxn with products carried away
6
New cards
What are advantages of Fuel Cells
clean bc no CO2 emitted
High efficiency: 40-70% efficient the rest goes to heat

What are disadvantages of fuel cells
* catalyst needed which is expensive
* H2 comes from rxn
* H2 stored in high-pressure tank: explosive hazard
* H2 tank infrastructure: becomes less efficient
* fouling: something kills catalyst site which if enough is killed, rxn stops
* H2 flame is invisible
* runs at high temp
* public acceptance is low
