The action of fuel cells with proton-exchanged membranes (PEMs) requires the implementation of the hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) and the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on the opposite sides of the PEMs. Recently, based on several models of electrochemical reactions a significant decrease in the thermodynamic activation barrier of both reactions under plasmon assistance was reported. In this work, we propose the design of a PEM fuel cell with a plasmon-active catalytic surface providing plasmonic triggering and enhancement of fuel cell efficiency. In pa
