摘要:A direct methanol fuel cell using a mixture of O2 and CO2 at the cathode was evaluated using anion exchange materials and cathode catalysts of Pt and a non-Pt catalyst. The MEA based on non-noble metal catalyst Acta 4020 showed superior performance than Pt/C based MEA in terms of open circuit potential and power density in carbonate environment. The fuel cell performance was improved by applying anion exchange ionomer in the catalyst layer. A maximum power density of 4.5mWcm–2 was achieved at 50°C using 6.0M methanol and 2.0M K2CO3.
