Kütuserakendite
Kütuserakendite, also known as fuel cells, are electrochemical devices that convert the chemical energy of a fuel, such as hydrogen, into electrical energy through a chemical reaction with an oxidizing agent, typically oxygen. This process is distinct from combustion, as it occurs without burning and produces electricity, heat, and water as byproducts. The fundamental components of a fuel cell include an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte. At the anode, the fuel is oxidized, releasing electrons and ions. The electrolyte allows these ions to pass through to the cathode, while the electrons are directed through an external circuit, generating an electric current. At the cathode, the ions combine with the oxidizing agent and the electrons to form the byproduct, usually water.
The efficiency of fuel cells can be significantly higher than that of internal combustion engines, and they
