A hydrogen‐oxygen cationic ion‐exchange membrane fuel cell was operated at various temperatures, pressures, and electrolyte concentrations. The open circuit and discharge characteristics of the cell were explained in terms of the oxygen polyelectrode theory. Although discharge was limited by internal resistance, pressurization greatly reduced polarization.
