Summary: A gel-aided dual-electrolyte fuel cell design using cellulose paper has been proposed for the first time to overcome the low open-circuit voltage and power density issue in hydrogen peroxide fuel cells. By toning the electrolytes, the OCV of the fuel cell has been increased to 1V and a high peak power density of 10.2 mW cm(-2) has been achieved. The use of alkaline anolyte has shown to significantly benefit the cell performance. The fuel cell also exhibits great durability and can be instantly re-activated upon refueling.
