Single-plate Reactor Based on MEMS Technology

2 Preferential Carbon Monoxide Oxidation 2 [PrOx 2] Single-plate Reactor Based on MEMS Technology 

Bednarova et al. [87] designed a single-plate PrOx reactor for a 1 W fuel cell based on MEMS technology, similar to [PrOx 1], The results of the simulation work described above were applied to optimize the reactor performance. The plate carried a pre-mixer and 29 channels each 12 mm long, 500 pm wide and 400 pm deep. Flow uniformity was verified by simulations. Full conversion of carbon monoxide was achieved at much lower temperature with [PrOx 1] and the selectivity towards carbon dioxide was 40%.
