Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Applications

Recent developments in DMFCs, including published results of demonstration systems (Gottesfeld, 2002 Dohle et al 2002 and Ren, Zelanay et al 2000) indicate that a power of about 60 mW per square centimeter of electrode area is feasible, but is unlikely to be exceeded in the near fumre. This is considerably lower than the performance of hydrogen fuel cells and considerably constrains the area of application of this type of cell. [Pg.157]

DMFCs lend themselves well to applications where the power density can be low, but the energy density must be high. To put it another way, they are suited to applications where the average power is only a few watts, but that power must be provided for a very long time - typically for several days. [Pg.157]

Fortunately there are many examples where this is indeed the case. Good examples are 3G always on mobile telephones, PDAs that combine with communication equipment, traffic systems, remote monitoring and sensing equipment, navigation systems, and so on. The antithesis of a good DMFC system is the motorcar, where a high-power density is essential and usage times will often be quite short. [Pg.157]

In many potential applications of fuel cells the competition is quite varied. In this case it is not - the rival technology is clearly the rechargeable battery. The best performing rechargeable battery is the Lithium-ion cell. If a DMFC can offer significant improvement on this, then serious impact on a huge market can be assured. [Pg.157]

The volume of a DMFC system obviously depends not only on the energy to be stored but also on the average power and the efficiency. If we take the recently published performance of DMFCs (Gottesfeld, 2002 and Dohle et al., 2002), then we see that 60 mW cm is a good guide figure for what should be possible in the near-term future. We can then estimate the power density as follows  [Pg.157]

In blends of PPESK and sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (PEEK), both methanol permeability and proton conductivity increase nonlinearly with increasing content of PEEK. Sulfonated PAES copolymers obtained from sulfonated 4,4 -dichlorodiphenyl sulfone, 4,4 -dichlorodiphenyl sulf-one and phenolphthalein have been tested with respect to their use for direct methanol fuel cell application. The proton conductivity increases linearly with the degree of sulfonation, but the methanol permeability increases linearly up to 20 mol-% sulfonated monomer content. Above this level, a sudden increase in permeability is observed. This effect is referred to as percolation threshold. [Pg.263]

Partially disulfonated hydroquinone-based PAES random copolymers have been synthesized and characterized for application as proton exchange membranes [128]. A copolymer with a 25% degree of disulfonafion showed the best balance between water uptake and proton conductivity. The copolymers showed substantially reduced methanol permeability compared with Nafion and a satisfactory performance of direct methanol fuel cell applications. [Pg.194]
