ABSTRACT
The PEMFC, also called a solid polymer fuel cell, was first developed by General Electric in the United States in the 1960s for use by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) on their first manned space vehicles [1]. This type of fuel cell primarily depends on a special polymer membrane that is coated with highly dispersed catalyst particles. Hydrogen is fed to the membrane’s anode side (possibly at a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure) where the catalyst causes the hydrogen atoms to release its electrons and become H+ ions (protons) () 2 H 2 → 4 H + + 4 e −
