United Kingdom Intelligent Energy company recently created a hydrogen fuel cell that you build into your mobile phone, the new products will have the potential to bring huge economic benefits. Announced the hydrogen fuel cell is Intelligent Energy consumer electronics research projects. Last October, the company developed by hydrogen and oxygen react with power pack, almost zero pollution.
In the near future on the show, the company successfully put the battery into the iPhone and MacBook. It is understood that the battery or battery life of up to one week. This is the hydrogen fuel-cell phone batteries after UPP, Intelligent Energy in another major breakthrough in fuel cells.
New clean energy
Which is based in the United Kingdom listed company of Loughborough from the 80 's of last century began working in the fuel-energy research and development, there are 2000 patents (including patents pending), the company founded by Loughborough University, the first project landed at Loughborough University, universities to provide academic support.
In addition to individual electronic consumer goods, Intelligent Energy fuel power system also used in fixed power supplies and power systems. As a semi-academic-oriented company, Intelligent Energy and research and development of products is not mass production, but with other brands, providing energy solutions for them. Last year, the Intelligent Energy was developed in cooperation with Suzuki can be equipped with motorbikes and cars on the fourth-generation fuel cell power system.
Intelligent Energy's core technology is the research and development of fuel cell power generation system, the system consist of fuel cell stacks, air, fuel and control system. Cell stack using PEM fuel cells. PEM fuel cells have features such as lightweight and easy to carry, can be used in computers and other portable electronic devices. In the course of using hydrogen is injected into the device, and react with the fuel cell to produce electricity. The energy could be released for cell phone battery life of up to one week.
In iPhone displayed in Intelligent Energy, and small holes for discharges hydrogen and oxygen is designed after the role of water vapor. Hydrogen supply through the adjustment of the headphone jack is filled. In order to facilitate business expansion, the current Intelligent Energy is developing a disposable tool, supplementary hydrogen--it can be inserted into the bottom of the phone, which contains enough to support hydrogen power release powder a week, each filling, can be used repeatedly.

Japan's Nikkei BP clean technology Research Institute has released survey data, after 2015, hydrogen energy infrastructure market started to slow growth after 2020 the market will show accelerating growth, by 2025, the hydrogen energy infrastructure, domestic market size of more than commercial.
It is understood that China produces 33 billion batteries a year, about 10 billion batteries, recycle national currently there are no appropriate solution for mobile phones, a pollution-free fuel cell volume production if the promotion can not only effectively protect the environment, as well as a huge market. Intelligent Energy's CEO HenriWinand believes that the product's market value could reach 300 billion pounds a year.
However, this product costs a lot of money. Technical research and development of Intelligent Energy has been putting in a lot of cost. Last October, the company developed embedded fuel energy. According to 2015 the company for six months, from last September to March this year, has spent £ 10.3 million (equivalent to more than 100 million yuan) in terms of research and development.
Substantial costs into product prices not too grounded. Intelligent Energy fuel-rechargeable battery market last year reached £ 149 ($ 1497), at the same time, each into the hydrogen costs £ 5.95 ($ 59.7). But this time, for a new battery system, the company decided to reduce product costs for mass production. Follow ARM to sell hydrogen fuel cell system technology rights, production of low profit to the producers. Analysts expect, which will bring huge profits to Intelligent Energy. 2015, revenue is expected to reach £ 100 million, a figure in 2014 to £ 13.6 million.
