"Actionable Insights to Fuel Your Growth"
With the increasing growth in population and improvement in living standards, the human demand for backup power generation has also increased. Although several power generation storages are available, alternative power generation for backup purposes are not commercially viable. The energy supply may not match energy demand. Fuel cells can be used to fulfill the backup energy demands of the system.
Protonic ceramics fuel cell is a relatively new technology in the fuel cell world. As the name suggests, protonic ceramic fuel cells are based ceramic electrolytic material. This ceramic electrolytic material exhibits high protonic activity at high temperatures. Protonic ceramic fuel cells have inherent thermal and kinetic advantages for high-temperature operations. The high operating temperature is necessary to achieve high efficiency for electrical conversion.
