The principle of the fuel cell was fi rst discovered in 1839 by Sir William Grove, a Welsh physician. In the 1950s, NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) put this principle to work in building devices for powering space exploration vehicles. In the present day, fuel cells are being developed to power homes and vehicles while producing low or zero emissions. The chemical reaction in a fuel cell is the opposite of electrolysis. Electrolysis is the process in which electrical current is passed through water in order to break it into its components, hydrogen and oxygen.[1] ;While energy is required to bring about electrolysis, this same energy can be retrieved by allowing hydrogen and oxygen to reunite in a fuel cell. It is important to note that while hydrogen can be used as a fuel, it is not an energy source. Instead, hydrogen is only an energy carrier, as energy must be expended to generate the hydrogen and store it so it can be used as a fuel. In simple terms, a fuel cell is a hydrogenpowered battery. Hydrogen is an excellent fuel because it has a very high specific energy when compared to an equivalent amount of fossil fuel.[2] 1kg of hydrogen has three times the energy content as 1 kg of gasoline. Hydrogen is the most abundant element on earth, but it does not exist by itself in nature. This is because its natural tendency is to react with oxygen inthe atmosphere to form water (H2O). ydrogen is also found in many other compounds, most notably hydrocarbons, such as natural gas or crude oil. In order to store hydrogen for use as a fuel, processes must be undertaken to separate it from these
