direct methanol fuel cell

Direct methanol fuel cells are in commercial use, though they are not presently efficient.

A direct methanol fuel cell is usually part of a larger system including all the ancillary units that permit its operation.

Direct methanol fuel cells could run your mobile phone on vodka but they'd likely leak in your pocket.

The decisions to allow Direct Methanol Fuel Cells onboard aircraft will enhance the future prospect of Viaspace.

Direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC)

Platinum-cobalt bimetallic nanoparticles combined with carbon nanotubes are promising candidates for direct methanol fuel cells since they produce a higher stable current electrode.

These include the original and fundamental patent for using methanol dissolved in water as the fuel for Direct Methanol Fuel Cells.

Direct methanol fuel cells have been developed by Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to convert methanol and oxygen into electricity.

The regulation and safety standards of fuel cells is one cause of the long delay for the roll out of Direct Methanol Fuel Cell powered devices.

SFC Energy is German manufacturer of Direct methanol fuel cell's, which uses their fuel cell for a variety of portable power systems.

Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (DMFC's), for example, use methanol as the reactant instead of first using reformation to produce hydrogen.

FE DMFC has an increase performance of approximately 30% when compared against a Direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC).

SMEs: Manfred Stefener, Oliver Freitag and Jens Müller (Germany), for their portable direct methanol fuel cell.

These fuels can also be used in fuel cells either via onboard reforming to hydrogen or directly in Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (DMFC).

SymPowerco is an energy technology company developing the Flowing Electrolyte Direct Methanol Fuel Cell or FE DMFC.

Alternatively, methanol, and some other biofuels can be fed to a PEM fuel cell directly without being reformed, thus making a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC).

Direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFC) and direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC) are highly efficient, pollution-free and noiseless energy conversion systems that can produce electricity through electrochemical reactions.

Direct methanol fuel cells do not require a reformer, but provide a lower energy density compared to conventional fuel cells, although this could be counterbalanced with the much better energy densities of ethanol and methanol over hydrogen.

For the alternative energy market, Viaspace subsidiary Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Corporation develops and manufactures disposable fuel cartridges for fuel cell powered electronic devices such as notebook computers, mobile phones and military systems.

USC, in a collaborative effort with Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) proceeded to invent the direct oxidation of liquid hydrocarbons subsequently coined as DMFC, Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Technology.
