Abstract
The invention relates to a fuel cell, in particular a methanol fuel cell which has an anion-conductive membrane. The protons required for the formation of hydroxyl ions are supplied to the cathode chamber in the form of water. The water resulting from the reaction is produced at the anode. The method requires the use of alkaline media both in the anode chamber and in the cathode chamber.
