Design and Fabrication of a Silicon-based Micro Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Stack
This paper presents a silicon-based micro direct methanol fuel cell (μDMFC) stack with compact stacked structure and a unique shared anode plate. The μDMFC stack consists of two fuel cells in electrically parallel connection, while the fuel transport is arranged in series. Experimental results show that the μDMFC stack generates a power density of 12.71mW/cm, almost twice as much as that of a s...
متن کاملDesign of a New Micro Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Using MEMS Technology
In this paper, a special micro DMFC using MEMS technology is designed to work in a circumrotating condition, which providing power using inertia over-load. The designed cell is a cylinder, anode channel is inside, cathode is outside and exposes to the air. When the overload exceeds the critical value, the liquid inside reserve tank will splash and comes into the two electrodes, and then the cel...
متن کاملEffects of Nanoimprint Patterns on Performance of Passive Mems-based Direct Methanol Fuel Cell
This paper presents our recent effort on application of nanoimprint technology into passive MEMS-based direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) for chip-scale power-embedded system. We fabricated and characterized five kinds of micro DMFC with different nanoimprint pattern and catalyst layers. It was found that the measured fuel cell performance varied with the nanoimprinted patterns because they affec...
متن کاملDevelopment and characterization of a silicon-based micro direct methanol fuel cell
A silicon-based micro direct methanol fuel cell ( DMFC) for portable applications has been developed and its electrochemical characterization carried out in this study. Anode and cathode flowfields with channel and rib width of 750 m and channel depth of 400 m were fabricated on Si wafers using the microelectromechanical system (MEMS) technology. A membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) was speciall...
متن کاملA Micro Direct Methanol Fuel Cell with Self-pumping of Liquid Fuel
This paper introduces a micro direct methanol fuel cell (μDMFC) with an imbedded self-pumping mechanism to deliver liquid fuel. The fuel is propelled without any power consuming component (e.g., a pump), while removing the CO2 bubbles generated by the fuel-cell electrochemical reaction of the system. Furthermore, the pumping rate is self-regulated by the reaction, i.e., by the load. By eliminat...
