A STUDY OF DIRECT PHOTOCATALYTIC CONVERSION OF METHANE INTO METHANOL FOR DMFC USAGE

Rapid growth of Iran methanol consumption in the first decade of the this century requires development of direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) technology in the future. In this investigation, the important role of methanol in the development of chemical processes, in particular DMFC technology, will be reviewed. Various methanol production methods are discussed with emphasis on the photocatalytic conversion of methane into methanol process. Structure and electrochemical reactions of DMFC have been described. The effective operational parameters of this type of fuel cell with their limiting values has been determined. Finally, new applications of DMFC are reviewed.
