The objective of this practical work session is to help trainees understand the voltage response of a hydrogen fuel cell under current. Specifically, they will:
- Understand the operation of a hydrogen fuel cell and the redox reactions that generate electricity.
- Analyze the relationship between voltage and current, influenced by the internal resistance of the cell.
- Establish a polarization curve to evaluate the performance of the cell and interpret its ohmic and kinetic regions.
These skills will prepare them to evaluate hydrogen fuel cells in real-world applications and contribute to clean energy technologies.
This training was designed as part of the Symbio Hydrogen Academy, an initiative supported by the State and the Region as part of the IFPAI Action regional component of France 2030, operated by the Caisse des Dépôts (Banque des Territoires).
