Development status and prospect of hydrogen fuel cell

Abstract

Hydrogen fuel cell is the largest application scenario of hydrogen in the world. Its working principle is to generate electric energy by electrochemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen. The advantages of hydrogen fuel cell are very obvious, which not only has high energy conversion efficiency, but also realizes zero emission, low noise during operation and high safety. However, at present, it also has some shortcomings, such as great difficulties in the storage and transportation of hydrogen, relatively high cost compared with traditional energy sources, and imperfect related infrastructure. However, with the continuous development and progress of technology, it is expected that in the future, the application of hydrogen fuel cells in new energy vehicles and aircraft industries will be greatly improved and expanded, and energy storage and related issues are also expected to achieve important breakthroughs. Despite many obstacles, hydrogen fuel cells still show great development potential and broad space.
