Fuel cell
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 through itself.
