Abstract
Recently, ascorbic acid (AA) has been studied as an environment-friendly fuel for energy conversion devices. This review article has deliberated an overview of ascorbic acid electrooxidation and diverse ion exchange types of AA-based fuel cells for the first time. Metal and carbon-based catalysts generated remarkable energy from environment-friendly AA fuel. The possibility of using AA in a direct liquid fuel cell (DLFC) without emitting any hazardous pollutants is discussed. AA fuel cells have been reviewed based on carbon nanomaterials, alloys/bimetallic nanoparticles, and precious and nonprecious metal nanoparticles. Finally, the obstacles and opportunities for using AA-based fuel cells in practical applications have also been incorporated.
