I'm doing a presentation on Hydrogen Fuel Cells for my class, but I'm having a hard time understanding how exactly it is that they work. I'm only able to find information on fuel cells and they tend to not be descriptive on the hydrogen part. If someone could please link some articles that explain the topic and possibly try to explain how they work I would be very happy. Thank you.
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
Try googling "how does a hydrogen fuel cell work".
 
Minutes after posting that topic i found this

http://www1.eere.energy.gov/hydrogenandfuelcells/pdfs/fct_h2_fuelcell_factsheet.pdf

I found it pretty helpful if anybody is interested in the topic. However, I still need more in-depth material.
 
What don't you understand?
 
Can you be more specific about what it is you're looking for? I've been studying and building hydrogen fuel cells for my entire career as a graduate student and sometimes even I have a hard time understanding how they work.
