Batteries are valued as devices that store chemical energy and convert it into electrical energy. Unfortunately, the standard description of electrochemistry does not explain specifically where or how the energy is stored in a battery; explanations just in terms of electron transfer are easily shown to be at odds with experimental observations.
Therefore, these batteries acquired the name voltaic cells. Voltaic (galvanic) cells are electrochemical cells that contain a spontaneous reaction, and always have a positive voltage. The electrical energy released during the reaction can be used to do work. A voltaic cell consists of two compartments called half-cells.
Electrochemical Reactions. Chemical reactions either absorb or release energy, which can be in the form of electricity. Electrochemistry is a branch of chemistry that deals with the

A galvanic (voltaic) cell uses the energy released during a spontaneous redox reaction to generate electricity, whereas an electrolytic cell consumes electrical energy from an external source to .
2.2 Fuel Cell System. Fuel cell is an electrochemical energy conversion device, where the chemical energy is converted directly into electrical energy along with the heat and water as by products. Approximately a fuel cell can produce 0.6–0.75 V and the power and voltage level can vary from 2 kW to 50,000 kW and a few volts to 10 kV
