summary draft 2 and thesis

Michigan Tech's article "An Energy Breakthrough: Tech Researchers Create New Type of Fuel Cell"(2023) states that hydrogen fuel cells are making advancements and have a role in making clean energy for the world. Fuel cells emit zero emissions, and it is highly efficient as it requires less energy to convert to electrical energy. The efficiency rate for fuel cells is 60% whereas for normal fuel engines is at 30 to 35%. There are various types of hydrogen fuel cells being utilised in the market. One of the examples will be the Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) cells. PEM cells generate electricity by using hydrogen and oxygen.  Hydrogen reacts with oxygen to produce electricity; it powers electric motors and emits only water vapour. PEM cells are currently being used in the Hyundai Nexo 2019 model. PEM cells have demonstrated a quick start and effective energy generation. It can operate at low temperatures, which is great for automation and portable uses while having high powe
