Re: Fuel Cells
Hi Lizortiz and welcom to Ask an Expert!
Fuel cells have many advantages and disadvantages that are worth considering, and there are several ways of measuring energy of fuel cells and other things. The general scientific field of "life cycle assessment" is worth learning about.
I was able to learn some information about your questions by searching the ScienceBuddies.org website:
advantages and disadvantages:
https://www.sciencebuddies.org/blog/201 ... energy.php
energy efficiency:
https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... #materials
I used keywords "fuel cells" and "energy efficiency"
Similar searches such as and "energy measurement" and "efficiency measurement" as well as searches on google will provide further information. To get your project going, it is also worth thinking about your study design and one or two very specific questions you want to answer.
Hope this helps!
