Could we bubble the hydrogen through the liquid?
- ianai 4y agoWhat’s going to push the electrons anywhere?
- ianai 4y agoWarning, I’m talking about stuff I know way too little about: So I wonder whether being liquid makes this less helpful in a fuel cell. If I understand fuel cell chemistry enough, platinum would be on either side of the actual proton exchange membrane to form the anode and cathode. I see a liquid being problematic in that scenario as it would slosh around instead of making a circuit. More helpful would be some sort of solid state of platinum (preferably something cheaper) on either side that conducted the electrons away to the poles. But this definitely shows there’s interesting stuff to be found with these methods. Might just someday find that perfect fuel cell material.
