Clarified a quite misleading statement.

| Jul 15, 2014 at 17:33 | comment | added | prooffreader | The overall equation is the same but the mechanism is different. A platinum catalyst splits H2 into 2H+ (protons) and 2e- (electrons). A polymer membrane allows only the protons to pass through, forcing the electrons to take another route, creating an electric circuit. When the protons and electrons meet again they combine with oxygen from the air, giving water. | |
