What is a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell?

Cross-section of a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell with hydrogen entering the anode, oxygen entering the cathode, ions crossing the electrolyte, electrons flowing through an external circuit, and water leaving the cell A hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell is an electrochemical cell that makes electricity from hydrogen and oxygen. Unlike an ordinary battery, it keeps working as long as fresh reactants are supplied.

Step-by-step lessons on CIE IGCSE Chemistry Hydrogen–oxygen fuel cells. Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Build a solid grasp of atomic structure, bonding and the mole concept early, since these underpin almost every other topic, then move on to the more calculation-heavy quantitative and organic chemistry content.
