There are five basic classes of fuel cells undevelopment: alkaline fuel cells (AFC); phosphoric acid fuel cells (PAFC); molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFC); proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEM); and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). The basic theory of operation of these classes of fuel cells will be presented with a view toward technical application. Some of these designs are more mature than others, and much progress has been made in recent years in their further development for both mobile and stationary applications. Several examples of these applications will be presented as well as others not yet under development. However, there are many technological issues that remain unresolved before fuel cell technology can be fully absorbed into the energy economy. These include water management, fuel reforming, carbon dioxide management, shift converter design, electrode design, matrix/membrane design, stack design, transient operation, polarization losses, and heat recovery system design among others. These issues will be presented in the context of opportunities for technological innovation.
