A fuel cell system using electrochemical dual-cells. Each dual-cell includes a catalyzed fuel oxidation electrode (40) on one end, followed by an electrolyte separator (20), a hydrogen permselective barrier layer (10), another electrolyte separator (25), and finally a catalyzed oxidant reduction electrode (60) on the other end. A power supply (80) is electrically connected to the hydrogen permselective barrier layer (10) and the catalyzed fuel oxidation electrode (40) that provides a supplemental current to the hydrogen permselective barrier layer. |
