Sažetak
The electrochemical cell system comprises an electrochemical cell and hydrogen storage in fluid communication with the hydrogen electrode. The hydrogen storage comprises carbon nanotubes or carbon fibers. The method for operating an electrochemical cell system comprises introducing water to an oxygen electrode and electrolyzing the water to form oxygen, hydrogen ions and electrons, wherein hydrogen ions migrate to a hydrogen electrode where they react with the electrons to from hydrogen gas which is stored in carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers.
