  4. Human Civilization • Food • Air • Water • … Energy

  5. Energy/Combustion O2 takes electrons and is reduced H2 loses electrons and is oxidized  e  H2 + 1/2O2 = H2O + Heat Biomass Coal Oil Gas O2

  6. Re1 Re1 Re1 Ox2 Ox2 Ox2 Ox1 Ox1 Ox1 Re2 Re2 Re2 • Energy/Electrochemical Conversion: • Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) • Acidic (H+) Medium Anode Cathode Pt as catalyst is necessary H+ H2 2H+ + 2e 1/2O2 + 2e + 2H+ = H2O H2+ 1/2O2= H2O

  7. Re1 Re1 Re1 Ox2 Ox2 Ox2 Ox1 Ox1 Ox1 Re2 Re2 Re2 • Energy/Electrochemical Conversion: • Hydroxide Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (HEMFC) • Basic (OH -) Medium Anode Cathode Non-precious metal e.g., Ni and Ag can be used as catalyst OH⁻ H2 + 2OH- 2e + 2H2O 1/2O2 + H2O + 2e  2OH- H2+ 1/2O2= H2O
