Abstract
A direct hydrogen peroxide/proton-donating-fuel fuel cell for production of electric current by reduction of hydrogen peroxide coupled with oxidation of fuel by means of ion transfer across an ion-conducting polymer electrolyte is provided. In addition, a hydrogen peroxide concentration meter is provided, which may be utilized, for example, for measuring the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in solutions that may contain strong electrolytes or in automated systems such as those to be used with the present fuel cell.
