N2 - Basic principles of catalysis, thermodynamics, and reaction kinetics are very similar across the different types of fuel cells. Nevertheless, the small differences bring decisive variations in performance, function, limiting factors, sensitivity to impurity poisoning, and finally applications. This chapter explains the basic function of fuel cells, concentrating on the ceramic Solid Oxide Fuel Cell. Understanding the scientific basis of fuel cell operation helps in designing and optimising fuel cells, fuel cell stacks, and fuel cell systems.
