Summary
Hydrogen will play an increasingly important role in the push toward greater use of renewable energy and the reduction in carbon emissions from the transportation sector, electrical energy generation and transmission, and the production of commodity chemicals, such as ammonia and polyolefins. In this chapter, the operating principles of fuel cells and electrolyzers are detailed. The main function of these devices is the interconversion of electrical and chemical energy.
