Is it possible to store some of the electricity or energy generated from a fuel cell using capacitors?

Question

I've read several literature that say electric current is generated from the fuel cell as a result of the hydrogen electrons flowing from the anode to the cathode, where it combines with oxygen to form water as waste product. Is it possible to store the extra electricity? What if the car is not running? Can the fuel cell keeps working to keep electrical energy produced and stored in capacitors like the same principle to generate solar energy?

the size of capacitor needed would be impractical and there would be safety issues if it explodes or arcs and discharges.
