What is the waste from a hydrogen fuel cell?
Fuel cells are a clean and quiet way to convert chemical-energy of fuels directly into electricity. Specifically, they transform hydrogen and oxygen into electric power, emitting water as their only waste product.
Can fuel cells be recycled?
Once a fuel cell stack has reached the end of life, Ballard can facilitate the recycling of the MEA. Typically, more than 95% of the precious metals in the MEA are reclaimed during this process. The majority of the remainder of components in a fuel cell stack are recycled using ordinary recycling processes.
Where is the Toyota Mirai sold?
Deliveries to retail customers began in California in October 2015. Toyota scheduled to release the Mirai in the Northeastern States in the first half of 2016. As of June 2016, the Mirai is available for retail sales in the UK, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, and Norway.
What are fuel cell batteries?
Fuel cells work like batteries, but they do not run down or need recharging. They produce electricity and heat as long as fuel is supplied. A fuel cell consists of two electrodes—a negative electrode (or anode) and a positive electrode (or cathode)—sandwiched around an electrolyte.
Are hydrogen balloons flammable?
Since helium is expensive, the gas commonly used to inflate gas balloons is hydrogen, which is extremely flammable. Hydrogen is even lighter than helium and gives the balloon its floating property.
Can pure hydrogen explode?
Does hydrogen explode or combust (with or without oxygen)? – Quora. If you create a spark inside a container of pure hydrogen, nothing will happen. It cannot combust or explode without oxygen (or another oxidant such as chlorine).
Can you mix hydrogen and helium?
Originally Answered: can hydrogen and helium bond together? Hydrogen and Helium cannot bond together. Put aside the inertness of helium (or all noble gases), bond formation is only favored when the final state of the two elements is more stable than their initial state.
