Abstract

Energy conservation is an important issue in a world that is still largely dependent on non-renewable energy resources. Despite the growing awareness about the advantages of renewable resources, fossil fuels in the form of coal and petroleum dominate the energy consumption scenario. The primary reason for this situation is the greater commercial viability of fossil fuels. Fuel cells are an important, environment friendly means of utilizing the energy stored in hydrogen. Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) are the most advantageous fuel cells for automobiles as they are compact, more efficient and can operate at lower temperatures. However, the traditional PEMFCs require performance improvement. The paper discusses a possible material that may find potential application in the fuel cell as an alternative to the carbon nanotubes existing so far. The material allows the storage and application of solar energy in addition to hydrogen energy (which was utilized in traditional PEMFCs).
