inFCEVsbecauseof itshighenergycontent,andthefacts it isnon-polluting(producingonlywater
as exhaust) andabundant inNature in the formofdifferent compounds suchashydrocarbons [4].
Hydrogencanbestored indifferentmethods foruse inEVs[4]; commerciallyavailableFCVs like the
ToyotaMiraiusecylinders tostore it. Theoperatingprincipleofageneral fuel cell isdemonstrated in
Figure31,whileFigure32showsahydrogenfuel cell.According to thematerialused, fuel cells canbe
classifiedintodifferent types.AcomparisonamongthemisshowninTable11. Thechemical reaction
