Fuel cells

Where could I go to find a realistic efficiency of a hydrogen fuel cell, and of electrolysis? I want to find out how much energy would be lost if I were to use electrolysis to fuel a hydrogen fuel cell, assuming that I was feeding the electricity from the fuel cell back into the electrolysis. I've found this site:
Electrolysis of Water and Fuel Cell Operation
but it seems like it only details theoretically perfect fuel cells, rather than real world energy losses.

Re: Fuel cells

According to the link you provided, the efficiency is almost 83%. But Wikipedia claims entirely differently. See the link below to see what the efficiency is like.

(I'm allowed to post this link, aren't I?)

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
