A hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell using an ion-exchange membrane as an electrolyte
article
Using an acidic type of water leached ion exchange membrane, cell current outputs of the order of 100 mA▪cm-2 at 0,6 V cell voltage have been obtained; the removal of produced water largely limits the cell performance. Cells using the alkaline type of membrane exhibit much smaller current densities, which was demonstrated to be caused by the hydrogen electrode. A tentative explanation is offered on the basis of impedance-measurements.
