Panasonic has publicizing its fuel-cell technology as a new and innovative way to provide homes with electricity and cut their consumption of mains-sourced power, claiming that every home should have one.The company declared that it will start the production of home-use polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) system in June. According to the company, the power pack can run for 40,000 hours and 4,000 start-stop cycles that is enough for a ten-year operational lifespan.
Working Of PEFC
The PEFC, i.e. the polymer electrolyte fuel cell, works in the usual way. It takes the hydrogen from the fuel which is combined with the oxygen from the air across a pair of electrodes separated by an electrolyte. The electrons produced by the reacting hydrogen and oxygen are forced by the electrolyte to travel around a circuit as a current. Heat and water are also generated in this process.
