In recent years work was started in which this sort of phenomena are smdied at the cell level, particularly the electrical breakdown of cell membranes and the fusion of neighboring cells under the influence of electric fields. These studies are of great value, in particular, for the further development of cell engineering and gene technology.

Fuels that are most directly suited to the fuel cell are the most difficult and costly to produce and distribute. Gasoline and methanol are the leading candidates to power fuel cell engines. Both the gasoline and methanol fuel cell vehicles should be more fully developed prior to making a commercial decision on fuel choice.

Fundamental Models for Fuel Cell Engineering Chao-Yang Wang... 

The purpose of the present review is to summarize the current status of fundamental models for fuel cell engineering and indicate where this burgeoning field is heading. By choice, this review is limited to hydrogen/air polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs), direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs), and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Also, the review does not include microscopic, first-principle modeling of fuel cell materials, such as proton conducting membranes and catalyst surfaces. For good overviews of the latter fields, the reader can turn to Kreuer, Paddison, and Koper, for example.
