A type of fuel cell that combines the functions of both an electrolyzer (to produce hydrogen) and a fuel cell (to generate electricity from hydrogen) within a single device.

A catalyst that can perform two different chemical reactions, in this case, facilitating both the oxygen evolution reaction (in electrolysis) and the oxygen reduction reaction (in fuel cell mode).

A novel device that combines the functions of a fuel cell and a battery, capable of generating hydrogen from water and then converting it into electricity. It utilizes a new bifunctional catalyst for improved efficiency.
