[JEE Main 2024, 4 Apr (Shift 2)]
A, B, D, E only
A. has been used in spaceship ✅
Yes, hydrogen–oxygen fuel cells were used in Apollo missions.
B. has an efficiency of 40% to produce electricity ✅
Fuel cells typically have efficiencies around 40–60%; 40% is acceptable.
C. uses aluminium as catalysts ❌
Catalyst used is platinum (Pt), not aluminium.
D. is eco-friendly ✅
Product is water, so it is environmentally friendly.
E. is actually a type of Galvanic cell only ✅
Fuel cell is a galvanic (voltaic) cell producing electrical energy from a spontaneous redox reaction.
