A numerical model was developed to predict the water concentration, temperature, potential and pressure across a Nafion membrane used in pro... Read more
Calculator for Preparing Methanol-Water Mixture for DMFCs
Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) utilize a mixture of methanol and deionized water (or distilled water) as the fuel for anode side. The most common ... Read more
Building a Micro DMFC Design
This blog post includes a quick fuel cell introduction, parts list and design for a 1 cm x 1 cm (active area) fuel cell. This summary was put together... Read more
How to Predict Fuel Cell Performance
The performance of a fuel cell stack can be estimated using a few equations combined with some input data. A common way of characterizing performance ... Read more
Transport Phenomena in Micro and MEMs Fuel Cells
As fuel cell size decreases, the transport phenomena of the fuels and water changes in the fuel cell. In standard fuel cell designs, the movement of f... Read more
Processing Alternative Fuels for Fuel Cells
Fuel cells are not limited to pure hydrogen gas as fuel. Each type of fuel cell stack has different fuel tolerances. The lower the operating temperatu... Read more
Metal Hydrides
Fuel cells usually use compressed hydrogen as the fuel, but there are many other types of fuels that can be used. The type of fuel used depends upon t... Read more
The Effect of Clamping Pressure on Fuel Cell Performance
There are many steps involved in the manufacturing of a fuel cell stack. One of these steps is the hot pressing of the polymer electrolyte membrane to... Read more
