One embodiment of the present invention includes a technique of performing
a catalytic oxidation reaction at an anode to provide hydrogen ions from
molecular hydrogen and a catalytic reduction reaction at a cathode to
provide hydroxyl ions from liquid hydrogen peroxide. Passage of the
molecular hydrogen to a reaction region is impeded with a proton exchange
membrane and passage of the hydrogen peroxide to the reaction region is
impeded with an ion-selective arrangement. Electric potential is
generated between the anode and the cathode to provide electric power
from a reaction of the hydrogen ions and the hydroxyl ions in the
reaction region. In one variation, a regeneration technique is also
provided.
