When used as an energy storage device, the fuel cell is combined with a fuel generation device, commonly an electrolyzer, to create a Regenerative Fuel Cell (RFC) system, which can convert electrical energy to a storable fuel and then use this fuel in a fuel cell reaction to provide electricity when needed. Most common types of RFCs
