A new type of fuel cell that runs on hydrazine (N2H4) bypasses some of the barriers impeding wide-scale implementation of conventional hydrogen fuel cells in automobiles. The device, incorporates a solid hydroxide anion-exchange membrane in place of the commonly used sulfonic acid-based proton-conducting membrane. That change transforms the chemical nature of the fuel cell s interior from acidic to alkaline and thus eliminates the need for expensive corrosion-resistant platinum catalysts. In addition, because the fuel cell runs directly on liquid hydrazine, which has a greater energy density than gaseous or liquid hydrogen, it avoids some of the safety and technical challenges associated with high-pressure hydrogen fuel cells even as it provides comparable power output
