By comparing alkaline regenerative fuel cells (RFCSs) with advanced battery systems, the RFCs show better performance in regard to the overall mass for a widest range of space applications; however this does not embrace the low Earth orbit (LEO) missions, which are most practical. For LEO applications of RFCs, their storage efficiency must be increased significantly. Different RFC technologies and system designs are discussed in order to minimize the required effort in fundamental electrocatalytic research. The performance goals of the electrochemical properties of RFCs applied in low Earth orbits are defined.
