摘要
Solid-polymer electrolyte direct methanol fuel cells (SPE-DMFCs) employing carbon-supported Pt-Fe as oxygen-reduction catalyst to mitigate the effect of methanol on cathode performance while operating with oxygen or air have been assembled. These SPE-DMFCs provided maximum power densities of 250 and 120 mW cm(-2) at 85 degreesC on operating with oxygen and air, respectively. The polarization data for the SPE-DMFCs and their constituent electrodes have also been derived numerically employing a model based on phenomenological transport equations for the catalyst layer, diffusion layer and the membrane electrolyte.
