I removed that paragraph because it has little to do with Christian Friedrich Schönbein . -- Cyan 23:49, 6 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Some suggestions for improvement as the article is expanded:

Template:Infobox Scientist should be added
Some basic biographical information required, including place of birth, education, positions held (with dates), any family details
Lead needs expanding to summarise all aspects of the subject's life
Article should be divided into appropriate subheadings
Information on research should be expanded and references required
References should be added, preferably in the inline format
External links to useful online resources should be added if available

I am baffled by this article. The first sentence of the lead says that he is best known for the invention (with Robert Grove) of the fuel cell.

And that's it.

The body of the article makes no mention of fuel cells.

So did he actually invent the fuel cell? And if so when, how, etc.? Vaughan Pratt (talk) 02:50, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
