of these electrical and ionic currents are ex-
tremely useful in understanding a fuel cell's
characteristics and operation.
Cell Energy and Voltage
A key variable in describing cell charac-
teristics is a quantity called the Gibbs free
energy. This describes the amount of free
energy or chemical energy that a material
possesses. Cell voltage and other electrical
characteristics are related to the Gibbs free
energy, which is a function of the electronic
structure of the molecules undergoing reac-
tion. In the case of a hydrogen fuel cell, the
total energy available from its chemical re-

actions is equal to the free energy of the H2
and O2 reactants, minus the free energy of
the reaction product, H2O.
Fuel Cell Electrical
The potential difference(voltage) devel-
oped from the cell's electrical energy can be
found from the following:

where I is the current, moving through a po-
tential difference E, and P is the power de-
