Fuel Cell Developments

Although fuel cells are still largely the stuff of the future, some recent developments look set to bring that rather closer and give a good idea of the way research is going.Motorola researchers have further integrated the fuel cell processes. NEC researchers are making use of the highly fashionable carbon nanotubes. While those at Pennsylvania University have managed to make one run on conventional diesel fuel — thus obviating the need for ‘reforming’ fuels to hydrogen.
