Abstract

An electrochemical system (20) for converting electrical energy into chemical energy and chemical energy into electrical energy. The electrochemical system comprises a means for converting electrical energy into chemical energy, and a means for converting chemical energy into electrical energy, wherein the means for converting electrical energy into chemical energy and the means for converting chemical energy into electrical energy share a common electrode. In various embodiments, the present invention provides a hydrogen generator/fuel cell hybrid system. In various embodiments, the common electrode functions as a hydrogen source for the fuel cell, an active electrode for the hydrogen generator, and a portion or all of the common electrode is an anode (26) of the fuel cell. Hydrogen, oxygen, and water may be recycled in the system.
