Recent advances in passive and semi-passive direct methanol fuel cells

A review of the recent advances in experimental and numerical studies on direct methanol fuel cells fed with high concentration methanol (DMFC) has been conducted. The key issues such as methanol crossover, water management, and fuel supply in the fuel cell have been discussed and some important results are presented.

► Review the modeling and experiments on direct methanol fuel cells.
► Discuss the experiments on direct methanol fuel cells using high concentration methanol.
► Review the prototype design and development of direct methanol fuel cells.
