The efficiency for the conversion of electricity to light can be defined as the ratio of the energy converted to light to the electrical energy consumed. For example, common incandescent lightbulbs convert about 5% of the electrical energy they consume to light; the rest of the energy consumed is dissipated as heat, which adds to the cooling …

Thus, it is a major challenge to increase the energy conversion efficiency of electrolyzers and fuel cells significantly, and at the same time to use non-precious catalysts. The present work experimentally examines the usefulness of a bifunctional NiC catalyst in two different assemblies: an alkaline fuel cell (AFC) with electrolyte gap and …

The efficiency of the conventional process to convert chemical energy into electrical energy is limited by the Carnot cycle and is much lower than the efficiency of batteries. There are different ways to store energy: chemical, biological, electrochemical, electrical, mechanical, thermal, and fuel conversion storage [ 6 ].

Simply put, energy storage is the ability to capture energy at one time for use at a later time. Storage devices can save energy in many forms (e.g., chemical, kinetic, or thermal) and convert them back to useful forms of energy like electricity. Although almost all current energy storage capacity is in the form of pumped hydro and the ...
