Direct methanol fuel cell is a modified version of.

Direct methanol fuel cells are prepared using pa pbi sio 2 composite membranes. Passive direct methanol fuel cells dmfcs are potentially applicable as portable power sources due to their high energy density low pollution simple structural design and easy re fueling however at present dmfcs face critical technical problems that hamper their practical applications including low power density slow reaction kinetics of methanol oxidation and. Pristine sio2 with a uniform particle size of 95 110 nm was synthesized and functionalized with nh2 and cooh. A distinguish transition temperature at 205 c for dmfcs with ptru c anode catalysts.

If you have any questions or need the bot to ignore the links or the page altogether please visit this simple faq for additional information. Above 205 c the increase in power density with temperature is 208 mwcm 2 100 c. Hu a shi gang sun b you qun chu c chun an ma ac and wen feng lin ad a centre for the theory and application of catalysis centacat school of chemistry and chemical engineering queen s university of belfast belfast bt9 5ag uk. An attempt by matthew feickert to build an operational direct methanol fuel cell for his independent study in chemistry during the 1st semester for the 2006.

Methanol electro oxidation on platinum modified tungsten carbides in direct methanol fuel cells. About 3 in mass to carry the reactant into the cell. I made the following changes. Among the fuel cell types direct methanol fuel cell dmfc is the most feasible candidate to li ion batteries as the power source for portable applications in the future and is now under rapid development this is mainly because of its high energy density simple structure and rapid operation.

Currently there were some commercial products using direct methanol fuel cells dmfcs and direct ethanol fuel cells defcs but the other types of dlfcs were generally still in the research stage. Please take a moment to review my edit. Common operating temperatures are in the range 50 120 c where high temperatures are usually pressurized dmfcs themselves are more efficient at high temperatures and. A novel approach is proposed to prepare a proton conductive nanochannel membrane based on polyvinylidene difluoride pvdf porous membrane with modified sio2 nanospheres.

In contrast to indirect methanol fuel cells where methanol is reacted to hydrogen by steam reforming dmfcs use a methanol solution usually around 1m i e. Dmfcs based on composite membrane show high power density and stability. Fereshteh samimi mohammad r. The hydrophilic pvdf porous membrane with a 450 nm inner pore size was chosen as the supporting structure.
