hydride ion

Electrical equipment; Fuel cell

Aside from electride, the hydride ion is the simplest possible anion, consisting of two electrons and a proton. See also hydrogen anion.

electrochemical cell

Electrical equipment; Fuel cell

An electrochemical cell is a device used for generating an electromotive force (voltage) and current from chemical reactions.

electrode

Electrical equipment; Fuel cell

An electrode is an electrical conductor used to make contact with a nonmetallic part of a circuit (e.g. A semiconductor, an electrolyte or a vacuum).

electrolyte

Electrical equipment; Fuel cell

An electrolyte is any substance containing free ions that behaves as an electrically conductive medium.

energy carrier

Electrical equipment; Fuel cell

An energy carrier is a substance or phenomenon that can be used to produce mechanical work or heat or to operate chemical or physical processes (ISO 13600).

internal combustion engine (ICE)

Electrical equipment; Fuel cell

An engine in which the combustion of fuel and an oxidizer (typically air) occurs in a confined space called a combustion chamber.

electrical insulation

Electrical equipment; Fuel cell

An electrical insulator is a material that resists the flow of electric current. It is an object intended to support or separate electrical conductors without passing current ...
