What is fuel cells?

Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that convert the chemical energy of a fuel (often hydrogen) and an oxidant (often oxygen) into electricity. They are similar to batteries but require a continuous source of fuel and oxidant to operate. Fuel cells are used in a variety of applications, including transportation (vehicles), stationary power generation (backup power, combined heat and power), and portable power.
