New Graphite Layer Designs for Direct Methanol Fuel Cells

摘要

The following work describes a new layer design for Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (DMFC). A new material is tested combined with an improved meander flow field. According to conventional designed cells the weight and the costs of the bipolar plates and the flow field can be reduced dramatically. The improved flow field guaranties a good flow distribution at the whole cell area and a high specific cell power.
