alkali anion exchange membrane

Electrical equipment; Fuel cell

An alkali anion exchange membrane (AAEM) is a semipermeable membrane generally made from ionomers and designed to conduct anions while being impermeable to gases such as oxygen or hydrogen.

alloy

Electrical equipment; Fuel cell

An alloy is a solid solution or homogeneous mixture of two or more elements, at least one of which is a metal, which itself has metallic properties.

ambient temperature

Electrical equipment; Fuel cell

Ambient temperature is a common term to denote a certain temperature within enclosed space.

energy content

Electrical equipment; Fuel cell

Amount of energy for a given weight of fuel. See also energy density.

zinc-air battery

Electrical equipment; Fuel cell

A Zinc-air battery (non-rechargeable), and zinc-air fuel cells, (mechanically-rechargeable) are electro-chemical batteries powered by the oxidation of zinc with oxygen from the air.

adsorption

Electrical equipment; Fuel cell

Adsorption is a process that occurs when a gas or liquid solute accumulates on the surface of a solid or a liquid (adsorbent), forming a film of molecules or atoms (the adsorbate).
