Platinum Metals Review, 1996 The direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) has been considered as the ideal fuel cell system since it produces electric power by the direct conversion of the methanol fuel at the fuel cell anode. This is more attractive than the conventional hydrogen fuelled cells, particularly for transportation applications, which rely on bulky and often unresponsive ...

Numerical investigation of methanol crossover through the membrane in a direct methanol fuel cell [PDF]
Hydrogen, Fuel Cell & Energy Storage, 2018 A two-dimensional, single-phase, isothermal model has been developed for a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC). The model considers the anode and cathode electrochemical equations, continuity, momentum and species transport in the entire fuel cell.
