Experimental Investigation of a Passive Direct Methanol Fuel Cell
Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC) are getting increasing attention as a possible power source for application in the field of power electronics where the energy requirements are relatively small. The major advantage of the DMFC is their high energy density in comparison to the conventional batteries. In this study, the performance of a passive direct methanol fuel cell was investigated under fi...
متن کاملTransient investigation of passive alkaline membrane direct methanol fuel cell
Passive direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is considered as an attractive power source for portable devices. In this study, a transient multiphase model for passive alkaline anion exchange membrane DMFC (AAEMDMFC) is developed. The results show that the power density decreases during the operation and is more difficult to maintain stable with higher current density or lower voltage. The fuel effi...
متن کاملFunctionalized and Electrospun Polymeric Materials as High-Performance Membranes for Direct Methanol Fuel Cell: A Review
Proton exchange membranes (PEM) for a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) have main drawbacks which are methanol permeability, reduced proton conductivity and the cost of the membrane. This paper reviews different polymeric materials such as fluorinated, non-fluorinated, acid-base complex, and composite membranes for DMFC. Currently, nonfluorinated membranes gain a lot of atte...
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 کاملeffect of methanol concentration and channel depth on performance of direct methanol fuel cell
effect of methanol concentration and channel depth of bipolar plates on the performance of single direct methanol fuel cell was investigated experimentally. the membrane used in this experiment was nafion117. dimension of the single cell were 10cm 10 cm. methanol concentrations of 0.50, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0 molar were used. channel depth of the bipolar plates were chosen to be 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 mm, a...
