What is a direct methanol fuel cell

The so-called direct methanol fuel cell (Direct Methanol Fuel Cell), it belongs to proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) in one category, and the solution of the direct use of methanol as fuel steam supply source, and not through the reorganization of the reorganization for methanol, gasoline and Such as to remove hydrogen gas for power generation. In contrast to proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) - Health and low-temperature, low-risk components of fuel cell structure is simple and features such as direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) portable electronic products may become application The mainstream. Direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) Is a direct methanol fuel cell proton exchange membrane fuel cell of a variant of its direct use of methanol and Wu Xu pre-restructuring. Methanol in the anode converted into carbon dioxide, protons and electrons, as the standard of proton exchange membrane fuel cells, proton exchange membrane proton through the cathode and oxygen reaction, the electronic circuit, reached through the cathode, and Work. The battery temperature expectations for the 120 ℃, than the standard of proton exchange membrane fuel cell slightly higher, its efficiency is about 40 percent. Its shortcomings, when low-temperature conversion of methanol to hydrogen and carbon dioxide, than conventional proton exchange membrane fuel cells need more platinum catalyst. However, this increase in costs may facilitate the use of liquid fuel and Wu Xu will be able to carry out restructuring work Xiangxing jianzhuo. The use of direct methanol fuel cell technology is still in its early development, but has successfully demonstrated can be used for mobile phones and laptop power, the future also have to specify the use of the potential end-users.
