Abstract |
The direct methanol fuel cell stack appears to
have great advantages since the fuel is in a liquid form.
However this liquid fuel causes the corrosion in the stack
and therefore has a performance drop as a result. This
paper addresses some of the causes of the associated
problems. It is reported that the corrosion can be limited by
eliminating all metal components in the anodic liquid flow
circuit; this solution is not however complete and the
performance of the DMFC remains limited. |
