Electrochemical cell, power generation method using electrochemical cell, and manufacturing method of hydrogen gas using electrochemical cell

Abstract

Provided is an electrochemical cell, a power generation method using the electrochemical cell, and a manufacturing method of a hydrogen gas using the electrochemical cell. A fuel cell 1 (electrochemical cell) includes a proton conductor 5 represented by (Li, H)14-2xZn1+x(GeO4)4 where a portion of lithium ions of Li14-2xZn1+x(GeO4)4 where x is a number equal to or more than 0 is substituted with protons, the proton conductor having electric conductivity of 0.01 S/cm or more at 300° C., an anode 6 provided on one side of the proton conductor, a cathode 7 provided on another side of the proton conductor, a first separator 9 provided on an anode side of the proton conductor to define an anode chamber 8, and a second separator 12 provided on a cathode side of the proton conductor to define a cathode chamber 11.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
