Abstract
Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles have always been regarded as the main direction for developing new energy vehicles in the future due to their advantages of zero emission, high cruising range, and strong environmental adaptability. Currently, although the related technologies have gradually matured, there are still many factors hindering its development. One of the main reasons is that the price of hydrogen fuel increases the cost of using vehicles, which puts it at a competitive disadvantage compared with traditional fuel vehicles and pure electric vehicles. Herein, we summarize the recent development status of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles at home and abroad, and analyze the cost and sustainability brought by the latest scientific research progress to the hydrogen production industry, which is derived from basic research on electrocatalysts used in industrial electrocatalytic water splitting with an alkaline electrolyte. Finally, the development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles was analyzed and prospected, which is one of the main application fields of hydrogen in the future.
