A Short Review on the Development of Anode Materials for Proton Conducting Fuel Cell

Abstract

This review focuses on a summary of the development of anode materials used in proton conducting fuel cell (PCFC). This type of fuel cell has high conversion efficiency which is about 40 to 72%, versatile technologies, durables, and low-pollution power generation system. This paper also emphasis on the properties of pure anode and metal anode composite for PCFC application. Furthermore, discussion is given more on Ni based anode composite as Ni metal has been widely used during the past decades due to its high catalytic behaviour compared to others.
