The use of limited reserves and pollution problems related to fossil fuels, the need for storage options as well as the use of renewable energy is felt. Solving environmental problems also requires a clean and efficient method. Today, fuel cells for energy efficient conversion, along with by-products of heat and water, known as efficient electrochemical converters and electricity, have been considered as a new production technology due to the need for clean energy and fossil constraints. . These include the ability of fuel cells to generate electricity without creating any mechanical movement, as well as their technologies, which have also received much attention in commerce. Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC), Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC), Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC), Phosphoric Acid Fuel Cell (PAFC), Alkaline Fuel Cell (AFC) and Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell (MCFC) Fuels are discussed in this study. Membranes and improved cell efficiency as well as durability and reliability allow us to use them in competition with traditional combustion engines. Also, the performance of fuel cells causes a significant reduction in costs. In this review, we will analyze recent developments in fuel cells and compare them.
