TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - POLYMERS - Preferred Components: The membrane electrolyte is porous matrix (preferably asbestos matrix) impregnated with an alkaline electrolyte. The non-platinum catalyst is pyropolymers of N4-complexes on a carbon carrier (10 - 20 wt.%).    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ELECTRICAL POWER AND ENERGY - Preferred Components: The membrane electrolyte is an anion-exchange membrane (preferably polybenzimidazole, doped with OH ions). The cathode is a two-layer gas-diffusion electrode with a hydrophilic barrier layer facing toward the electrolyte chamber or air chamber and with an active layer facing toward the air chamber or electrolyte chamber respectively. The anode consists of an active layer comprising fluoroplastic (3 - 7 wt.%) or polybenzimidazole (2 - 7 wt.%), and a membrane on the base of polybenzimidazole; porous nickel band, filled with polybenzimidazole and active layer comprising fluoroplastic (3 - 7 wt.%) or polybenzimidazole (2 - 7 wt.%); asbestos, impregnated with polybenzimidazole, and an active layer comprising fluoroplastic (3 - 7 wt.%) and polybenzimidazole (2 - 7 wt.%). The anode has a three-layer structure including a porous base, a layer facing the electrolyte, filled with polybenzimidazole and active layer comprising a catalyst and polybenzimidazole.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Components: The anode catalyst is nickel-ruthenium system. The non-platinum catalyst is silver on a carbon carrier (7 - 18 wt.%). The carbon carrier for the silver catalyst or pyropolymer catalyst is carbon black or graphite with a specific surface of at least 60 - 80 m2/g. The anode catalyst of the nickel-ruthenium system is Raney nickel with a ratio Ni:A1 of 50:50. The Raney nickel further comprises a molybdenum additive with a ratio Ni:A1:Mo of 40:50:10. The Raney nickel optionally with molybdenum additive is additionally promoted with platinum. The content of platinum and ruthenium in the anode catalyst is 8 - 15 wt.% with the content of platinum of 0.08 - 0.3 wt.%. The platinum and ruthenium are present in the anode catalyst in the form of crystals of Pt - Ru alloy having a size of 5 - 7 nm and a specific surface of 45 - 60 m2/g. EXAMPLE - A cathode had an active layer of a mixture of carbon black AD 100, promoted by a pyropolymer of cobalt tetramethoxyphenyl porphyrin with a suspension of fluoroplastic (20 wt.%). The mixture of the active mass (40 mg/cm2) was applied onto the substrate of the cathode by pressing at a pressure of 200 kg/cm2 and at 300degreesC. The anode had an active layer of a mixture of Ni:Mo + Ru/Pt(9:1) (10 wt.%) and fluoroplastic (5 wt.%). This mixture of the active mass (60 mg/cm2) was applied to the substrate by the method of pressing at a pressure of 100 kg/cm2 with subsequent heating in hydrogen at 300degreesC. A membrane of polybenzimidazole had a thickness of 60 mum and doped in KOH (6 M) was deposited on the anode by an evaporation method. A fuel cell with the indicated anode and cathode in the case where KOH (6M) and alcohol (6M) were used as the fuel mixture and at a working temperature of 60degreesC develop a current density of 120 mA/cm2 at a voltage of 0.5 V.
