Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that will
enable us to enjoy the benefit of electric cars - on-board generation,
pollution free - without the disadvantages of batteries such as
durability, range and the need for re-charging.
Using a catalyst of platinum, ruthenium and their alloys, fuel cells split
hydrogen atoms to generate electricity, water and heat.
Although their commercial potential is yet to be
fulfilled, current prototypes have demonstrated excellent fuel
efficiency and reliability. When renewable sources are used for
the hydrogen, harmful emissions are virtually zero.
