Abstract
An electrochemical half-cell comprises a non-conductive housing (3) having a fuel inlet and/or outlet and contains a membrane electrode assembly (4, 5) and an electrically conducting component (2, 6), wherein the electrically conducting component (2) is in contact with the membrane electrode assembly (4, 5), and wherein the housing (3) and the membrane electrode assembly (4, 5) define a chamber (1) for fuel.
