An alkaline–acid Zn–H 2 O fuel cell is proposed for the simultaneous generation of electricity with an open circuit voltage of about 1.25 V and production of H 2 with almost 100 % Faradic efficiency. We demonstrate that, as a result of harvesting energy from both electrochemical neutralization and electrochemical Zn oxidation, the as‐developed hybrid cell can deliver a power density of up to 80 mW cm −2 and an energy density of 934 Wh kg −1 and maintain long‐term stability for H 2 production with an output voltage of 1.16 V at a current density of 10 mA cm −2 .
