SOLAR HYBRID POLYMER ELECTROLYTE MEMBRANE FUEL CELL (PEMFC)

摘要

The present invention provides a hybrid solar fuel cell (FC) based on photocatalytic water splitting wherein the anode comprises of a photocatalyst producing H+ ions by splitting of water, an electrolyte membrane as a proton-conducting layer, and cathode comprising of an electrocatalyst facilitating oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The hybrid solar fuel cell does not require stored hydrogen fuel.
