Reduction of methanol crossover in a flowing electrolyte-direct methanol fuel cell

International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 2017
Abstract The flowing electrolyte-direct methanol fuel cell (FE-DMFC) is a type of fuel cell in which a flowing liquid electrolyte is used, in addition to two solid membranes, to reduce methanol crossover. In this study, FE-DMFCs having new materials and design were manufactured and studied. In this design, the flow field plates were made of stainless
