Abstract The development of hydrogen fuel cells is greatly hindered by the unwanted generation of H 2 O 2 at the cathode. A non‐Pt cathode catalyst is now shown to be capable of simultaneously reducing both O 2 and H 2 O 2 , thus rendering H 2 O 2 a useful part of the feed stream. The applicability of this unique catalyst is demonstrated by employing it in a fuel cell running on H 2 /CO and O 2 /H 2 O 2 .
