Selectivity of Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Membranes [PDF]
Membranes, 2015 Sulfonic acid-functionalized polymer electrolyte membranes alternative to Nafion® were developed. These were hydrocarbon systems, such as blend sulfonated polyetheretherketone (s-PEEK), new generation perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) systems, and composite zirconium phosphate–PFSA polymers. The membranes varied in terms of composition, equivalent weight,

Long Term Performance Study of a Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Fed with Alcohol Blends
Energies, 2013 The use of alcohol blends in direct alcohol fuel cells may be a more environmentally friendly and less toxic alternative to the use of methanol alone in direct methanol fuel cells. This paper assesses the behaviour of a direct methanol fuel cell fed with

Comparative exergy analysis of direct alcohol fuel cells using fuel mixtures [PDF]
, 2011 Within the last years there has been increasing interest in direct liquid fuel cells as power sources for portable devices and, in the future, power plants for electric vehicles and other transport media as ships will join those applications. Methanol is

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 ...

Mixtures of methanol and 2-propanol as a potential fuel for direct alcohol fuel cells [PDF]
Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2007 The electrochemical oxidation of methanol, 2-propanol, and their mixtures was investigated on a Pt/C thin film electrode in acid solution. It was confirmed that the oxidation of 2-propanol commences at less positive potentials than that of methanol and ...
