The functional principle of the fuel cell was discovered by Christian Friedrich Schönbein in 1838. In the following year, the physicist and lawyer Sir William Robert Grove was able to develop the first fuel cell on this basis. However, the fuel cell was unable to compete with the mechanically driven dynamo machines developed at the same time to generate electricity. Its application remained limited to special fields, for example, it proved its suitability as an energy converter in space travel. Recently, intensive work has again been carried out on the further development of the fuel cell, which is regarded as a future energy converter that can be operated emission-free and with high efficiency independently of fossil fuels. Although the fuel cell was invented many years before the internal combustion engine, its technical optimization is still in its early stages.
