Direct methanol fuel cell - Wikipedia
Direct methanol fuel cells or DMFCs are a subcategory of proton-exchange membrane fuel cells in which methanol is used as the fuel and a special proton-conducting polymer as the membrane (PEM).
Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) | SFC Energy AG » SFC Energy AG
By means of an electrochemical reaction, the direct methanol fuel cell converts the fuel, i.e. methanol, into electricity in combination with oxygen, producing only waste heat, water vapor and a small amount of carbon dioxide as waste products of the combustion process.
Direct Methanol Fuel Cell - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
The main advantage of DMFC is the direct feeding of a liquid fuel, which is methanol, allowing a great simplification of the fuel processing ahead of the FC. The typical cell reaction requires feeding at the anode a 50% molar mixture of methanol and …
