A method and system for managing energy of a fuel cell vehicle and a vehicle. The method is applied to a vehicle including a fuel cell, the vehicle further includes a power battery and a motor, the fuel cell and the power battery are electrically connected to the motor, and the method includes: acquiring a required power of the vehicle, a rated output power of the fuel cell and a current energy efficiency of the power battery; and according to at least one of the required power, the rated output power and the current energy efficiency, controlling the power battery to operate, and controlling the fuel cell to supply electric power at the rated output power or stop supplying electric power. In the present disclosure, not only the power battery can operate in the state of a reasonable energy efficiency to the largest extent, but also the fuel cell can always be in the two states of operating at the rated output power or of stopping operating, which prevents the problem that the fuel cell frequently operates at a non-rated output power, which results in a low economic efficiency of the hydrogen fuel and affects the economic efficiency of the entire vehicle.

The invention relates to a proton flow reactor for use in storing and releasing energy. In use, a slurry of storage particles in a liquid electrolyte may pass through a first half cell of the proton flow reactor. When the proton flow reactor is in charge mode, protons are bonded or otherwise attracted to the storage particles to form charged storage particles charged with hydrogen, which can hen be stored and/or transported for later use. When the proton flow reactor is in discharge mode, protons are removed from the charged storage particles to fuel an electrochemical reaction, thereby generating electricity. Alternatively, the proton flow reactor in discharge mode can be configured to generate hydrogen gas directly from the in-flowing charged carbon particles.
