## Abstract Alkaline fuel cells may become an important element in pollution free energy conversion. In the literature most papers in the field of low temperature fuel cells are concerned with polymer electrolyte fuel cells. However, there are still a lot of research groups and companies working on

β¦ Synopsis
i.e. PAFC, MCFC and SOFC are more adapted.
Low temperature fuel cells are cells with alkaline electrolyte and solid polymer electrolyte and have been approved as the electrical power supply in the U.S. Space programs Gemini and Apollo.
The following properties are advantageous: 0 Overall efficiency is not limited by the Carnot factor 0 Overall efficiency increases at part load 0 Energy density is distinctly higher than that of the accumulator l Series and parallel connections of the modules make good redundancy l The fuel cell operates noiselessly, in the case of operating with technical pure reactants, without polluting gases, at low maintenance.
