From March 1841 until the end of 1845, W. R. Grove held the post of Professor of Experimental Philosophy at the London Institution. His career in Science began in the late 1830s when he designed a voltaic battery and described first to the annual meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1839. The Grove Battery became widely known and used, but it is now thought this achievement was surpassed by his entirely new concept of a ‘gaseous’ voltaic battery — a pioneer fuel cell — on which he was concurrently working. In 1839, the first fuel cell was conceived. He mixed hydrogen and oxygen in the presence of an electrolyte, and produced electricity and water. The invention, which later became known as a fuel cell, didn't produce enough electricity to be useful at the time. Thus, Grove is known as Father of the Fuel Cell. In 1852 W.R. Grove was the first to study what became known as "sputtering" although others had observed the effect while studying glow discharges.

From March 1841 until the end of 1845, W. R. Grove held the post of Professor of Experimental Philosophy at the London Institution. His career in Science began in the late 1830s when he designed a voltaic battery and described first to the annual meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1839. The Grove Battery became widely known and used, but it is now thought this achievement was surpassed by his entirely new concept of a ‘gaseous’ voltaic battery — a pioneer fuel cell — on which he was concurrently working. In 1839, the first fuel cell was conceived. He mixed hydrogen and oxygen in the presence of an electrolyte, and produced electricity and water. The invention, which later became known as a fuel cell, didn't produce enough electricity to be useful at the time. Thus, Grove is known as Father of the Fuel Cell. In 1852 W.R. Grove was the first to study what became known as "sputtering" although others had observed the effect while studying glow discharges.
