Preparation and Characterization of DMFC Electrodes and MEAs
ECS Transactions, 2009 A stencil method, that utilizes a dried powder made of the catalyst and the Nafion ionomer phase, is used to make catalyst layers and membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs). The influence of different hot-pressing conditions on the DMFC performance and various properties of the MEAs, in particularly on the properties of the anode, are investigated and ...

A Study on Cathode Potential of DMFC
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2022 Abstract Methanol oxidation at the cathode catalyst layer is affected by crossing methanol through the membrane, resulting in a mixed potential. A Methanol crossover results in a mixed potential of 0.2V. Methanol concentrations regulate current density, which affects cell performance. When methanol is recirculated from the methanol tank,
