The electro-osmotic drag coefficient of water and methanol mixtures through Nafion 117 membranes was measured as a function of the composition at several temperatures between 25 and 60°C using a two-compartment capillary cell with Ag/AgCl electrodes. The

Experimental measurement technique for the assessment of the fuel crossover diffusion coefficient in the membrane electrode assembly of a direct methanol fuel cell [PDF]
Since the cross-over still seems to be the main issue of the direct methanol fuel cells, an experimental evaluation of the diffusive cross-over is performed.

On the Proton Conductivity of Nafion-Faujasite Composite Membranes for Low Temperature Direct Methanol Fuel Cells. [PDF]
Although zeolites are introduced to decrease methanol crossover of Nafion membranes for direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs), little is known about the effect of their intrinsic properties and the interaction with the ionomer.

Investigation of Methanol Crossover and Water Flux in an Air-Breathing Direct Methanol Fuel Cell
An air-breathing direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is constructed to investigate methanol crossover and water flux by altering flow rate and concentration of methanol solution.

The energy efficiency of a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is dependent on the cell voltage, crossover of oxygen and/or methanol through the polymer electrolyte membrane, and stoichiometry of the methanol oxidation reaction (i.e., the average number of ...

Conventional Nafion membranes demonstrate a strong affinity for methanol, resulting in a high fuel crossover, poor mechanical stability, and thus poor performance in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). This study involves the synthesis and physiochemical

Soft-SAFT modeling of vapour liquid equilibria of nitriles and their mixtures [PDF]
Nitriles are strong polar compounds showing a highly non-ideal behavior, which makes them challenging systems from a modeling point of view; in spite of this, accurate predictions for the vapor-liquid equilibria of these systems are needed, as some of ...
