Direct methanol fuel cell is an electrochemical device that converts the chemical energy of a reaction directly into electrical energy. The principle and schematic diagram of a DMFC is shown in Figure 9.1. In a typical DMFC, methanol and water molecules are simultaneously electro-oxidized at anode to produce CO2, electrons, and protons through the reaction (methanol oxidation reaction, MOR) ...
