Zusammenfassung:A typical fuel cell device that incorporates an anodic hydrogen splitting catalyst, with an electrolytic separator and a cathodic oxidant is provided. In particular, a fuel cell having a separator that can be kept in a dry state because the oxides in the anion section of the fuel cell will combine with the split hydrogen to create water to wet the separator. Additionally, the cathode can be exchanged to allow for reuse of the more expensive anode material.
