Abstract: An electrode comprises an acid treated, cathodically cycled carbon-comprising film or body. The carbon consists of single walled nanotubes (SWNTs), pyrolytic graphite, microcrystalline graphitic, any carbon that consists of more than 99% sp2 hybridized carbons, or any combination thereof. The electrode can be used in an electrochemical device functioning as an electrolyser for evolution of hydrogen or as a fuel cell for oxidation of hydrogen. The electrochemical device can be coupled as a secondary energy generator into a system with a primary energy generator that naturally undergoes generation fluctuations. During periods of high energy output, the primary source can power the electrochemical device to store energy as hydrogen, which can be consumed to generate electricity as the secondary source during low energy output by the primary source. Solar cells, wind turbines and water turbines can act as the primary energy source.

Abstract translation: 电极包括酸处理的，阴极循环的含碳膜或体。 碳由单壁纳米管（SWNT），热解石墨，微晶石墨，由超过99％的sp2杂化碳组成的任何碳或其任何组合组成。 该电极可以用作电化学装置，其用作用于氢的放出的电解器或用作氢的氧化的燃料电池。 电化学装置可以作为二次能量发生器耦合到具有自然经历发电波动的一次能量发生器的系统中。 在高能量输出期间，主要来源可以为电化学装置供电以将能量储存为氢，在主要来源的低能量输出期间可以消耗电能作为次级源。 太阳能电池，风力涡轮机和水轮机可以作为主要的能源。
