Abstract
It is suggested that because of concentration polarization only strong acids or strong bases are suitable as electrolytes for commercially acceptable low ‐temperature fuel cells. If carbonaceous fuels are employed, acid electrolytes must be used, since alkaline electrolytes would react with the carbon dioxide produced. Experimental results are quoted to show that high performance oxygen and hydrogen electrodes can be made which operate satisfactorily in acid electrolytes.Keywords
