Technology
The fuel cell functions in a similar way to a battery. It also has an anode and cathode and is an electrochemical cell just like a battery. The difference in the way the fuel cell works, however, is the fuel. Fuel cell technology relies on either hydrogen or methanol - a representative of the alcohol group of substances - as a fuel. Incidentally, this is not stored directly in the unit, as is the case with batteries. During operation of the fuel cell, it is supplied to the anode from a tank, such as a canister or a hydrogen bottle. Oxygen is needed to produce electricity. It is supplied to the cathode as an oxidizing agent.
This process is the same for both hydrogen and direct methanol fuel cells. As hydrogen wants to react with the oxygen to form water on its own, no external energy is required. The same applies to direct methanol fuel cells. The methanol (CH3OH) reacts with the water to form carbon dioxide and H+ ions and is converted directly into electricity. In addition to electricity, this only produces waste heat and water vapor with some carbon dioxide.
EFOY hydrogen fuel cells are based on PEM (polymer electrolyte membrane) technology. They produce electricity from the fuel hydrogen, supplemented by oxygen from the air. Hydrogen is converted directly into electricity. In addition to electricity, only a little water vapor is produced. This hydrogen technology is exceptionally environmentally friendly and virtually emission-free.
