. . . spontaneously recombine. Both hydrogen and oxygen form stable diatomic molecules - though some of the oxygen forms up as O3 or ozone. This occurs at the anode and cathode and is instantaneous for all practical purposes and does so to provide the system with the lowest energy state.
The highly reactive radical forms do spontaneously recombine. This is what happens when the mixture has added energy in the form of a spark or flame front.
