Abstract :
The direct methanol, liquid-feed fuel cell with proton exchange membrane (DMLFFC/PEM) technology offers a number of system advantages which on the whole compare favorably with the direct hydrogen PEM fuel cell system or the indirect fuel cell system. This paper summarizes progress in cell, stack, and system development based on the direct methanol, liquid-feed fuel cell concept
