A low‐temperature, precious‐metal‐free alkaline anion exchange membrane unitized regenerative fuel cell is developed. The prototype device obtains round trip efficiencies of 34–40% at 10 mA cm −2 , with a peak power density of 17 mW cm −2 in fuel cell mode. This opens up new possibilities for enabling cost‐effective and widespread deployment of renewable electricity.
