Mixed-reactant, strip-cell direct methanol fuel cells

摘要

A feasibility analysis of a mixed-reactant, strip-cell direct methanol fuel cell concept is presented. In this type of cell, selective electrodes ae mounted in an alternating fashion on the same side of a membrane electrolyte, and are exposed to a mixed-reactant feed. The presence of a single feed stream reduces flow system volume and sealing requirements., and potentially increases power density.
