When hydrogen gas flows across one side of the MEA and oxygen moves across the other side an electrochemical reaction occurs, splitting hydrogen into protons and electrons. The electrons are captured as electricity. Combining fuel cells together to form multi-layer stacks increases the amount of electricity that can be produced.
