Summary

In order to enhance the performance of the direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC), the product of CO2 bubble have to be efficiently removed from the anode channel. In this study, MEMS process and PDMS material are used to form the anode cannel of a DMFC. Otherwise, some particles with high hydrophobic properties are added into the PDMS materials, to further reduce the hydro-resistance in the anode channel. The performance of the DMFCs are investigated under the influence of operation conditions including operating temperature, flow rate, and methanol concentration In this study, it is found the performance of the DMFC with the anode channel made of PDMS with high hydrophobic particles can be greatly enhanced under the same operation conditions.
