Abstract

Natural resources of the world are shrinking day by day with ever increasing population and man's growing need for commercialization of petroleum, natural gas, coal, etc. Therefore, there is a need for finding an alternative fuel that could replace these conventional fuels. Hydrogen seems to be an ideal candidate, since hydrogen is a cleaner source of energy. Fuel cell is a good device that converts hydrogen directly into electrical energy efficiently. However, availability of hydrogen is a problem. There are many conventional methods for producing hydrogen, like thermochemical process, catalytic reforming of hydrocarbons, and electrolysis of water, but these methods are not economical and are mostly non-renewable. Biological means of producing hydrogen offers a renewable source of hydrogen production. Cyanobacteria can split water into hydrogen. Anabaena sp. is found to produce more hydrogen than other species of cyanobacteria; however, if this has to be cultured only for hydrogen production, it may not be commercially viable. Spirulina sp. has a good food value and can produce hydrogen as a byproduct. In order to reduce the cost of the fuel cell, the platinum anode may be replaced by a carbon electrode impregnated with suitable inexpensive metal that may have good catalytic activity such as Co-Al oxide spinel and nickel. Studies towards the photobiological production of hydrogen were undertaken. Hydrogen based fuel cell was assembled and fabricated and these studies are being reported.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
