Background
A fundamental prerequisite for the effective utilization of renewable energy sources is the development of eco-friendly and efficient energy conversion technologies. Fuel cells (FCs) are electrochemical systems that have shown promising results when used with various renewable energy sources. Since hydrogen has no adverse effects on the environment and can be created from water using electrolysis and other techniques, it is thought to be the fuel of the future. The most typical type of FC predicted to have the greatest impact on the energy…
