Spanish term or phrase: pilas en combustile

Good afternoon!

The text I am translating is about a company in Spain involved in nanotechnology. I would be grateful for some help with this phrase in the following context:)

estas nanofibras encuentran su aplicación en procesos de catálisis y en pilas de combustible (de hidrógeno para motores de automóviles, entre otras aplicaciones).

Thank you!

A fuel cell is an electrochemical cell that converts a source fuel into an electrical current. It generates electricity inside a cell through reactions between a fuel and an oxidant, triggered in the presence of an electrolyte.
