Direct Methanol Fuel Cells
Abstract: The characteristics, principle, prospective applications and commercial challenges of direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) are briefly reviewed. The current technological status and commercialization challenges are presented. The development of low-cost electrocatalysts to increase the rate of methanol oxidation and oxygen reduction, new polymer electrolyte membranes with high ionic conductivity and low methanol cross-over, the fabrication of membrane and electrode assemblies with high performance,and a breakthrough in system integration are crucial to the commercialization of DMFCs.
