''here is your answer''
A fuel cell is a device that generates electricity by a chemical reaction.
Advantages:
1. Most abundant element:
Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the Universe, which makes up about 3/4 of all matter. Anywhere there is water (H2O) you have hydrogen and oxygen.
2. Hydrogen has the highest energy content:
Energy content of hydrogen is the highest per unit of weight of any fuel. Therefore it offers the most “bang for the buck”. When water is broken down into HHO, otherwise known as oxyhydrogen or Brown’s Gas, it becomes a very, very efficient fuel.
3. Hydrogen is non-polluting:
Along with its effectiveness as a fuel, hydrogen is non-polluting. The only byproduct of hydrogen when it burns is heat and water.
4. Hydrogen is a renewable fuel source:
Hydrogen is very plentiful. The trick is to break the water molecules down to release it.
5. Reduce dependency on foreign oil:
It will greatly reduce the import of highly expensive oil demands of our country.

What is a fuel cell ? what is its main advantage
Answer =>
Fuel cells =>>> these cells are galvanic cells designed to convert the energy of combustion of fuels directly into electrical energy
Some of its main advantage are
=> fuel cells are pollution free
=>> they are more efficient than the convectional method
=>>> it runs continuously as long as the reactants are supplied
=>>>> electrodes are not affected
