What is it about?
The fuel cell was invented since 1839 by Grove which is an electrochemical device consists of three components of anode, electrolyte and cathode. This work demonstrated that the fuel cells can be constructed either with the electrolyte of non-electrolyte component. From these demonstrated examples it presented a comprehensive understanding of the fuel cells from another aspect.

Why is it important?
The experimental results have broken our existing thinking and knowledge about fuel cells to indicate that there are new important natures, materials and technologies which have not been discovered for fuel cells. This work hints a new research and development area for fuel cells.
Perspectives
Fuel cell electrochemistry science and three component device technologies have not provided good solutions for fuel cell research and development, as well as its commercialization.
