The development of hydrogen fuel cells is greatly hindered by the unwanted generation of H<sub>2</sub> O<sub>2</sub> at the cathode. A non-Pt cathode catalyst is now shown to be capable of simultaneously reducing both O<sub>2</sub> and H<sub>2</sub> O<sub>2</sub> , thus rendering H<sub>2</sub> O<sub>2</sub> a useful part of the feed stream. The applicability of this unique catalyst is demonstrated by employing it in a fuel cell running on H<sub>2</sub> /CO and O<sub>2</sub> /H<sub>2</sub> O<sub>2</sub> .
