DIRECT OXIDATION FUEL CELL FOR THE CONVECTION-FREE TRANSPORT OF FUEL AND METHOD FOR OPERATING THE FUEL CELL

摘要

The present invention relates to a direct oxidation fuel cell for the convection-free transport of at least one fuel and also to a method for operating the direct oxidation fuel cell. The principle according to the invention is hereby based on transport of the fluidic fuel from the fuel reservoir to a membrane electrode unit, the transport being effected through a capillary structure using capillary forces and an evaporation suction.
