Abstract :
The main constraint for the commercialization of micro Direct Methanol Fuel cell (µDMFC) for small power generation is the performance of the fuel cell. In this study, a high-power µDMFC with a power output of 14.10 mW on an active area of 4 cm2 and catalyst loading of 0.5 mg cm-2 cathode was successfully developed. The optimal parameters for methanol concentration and catalyst loading were determined. Besides that, testing of performance, long term and open circuit voltage (OCV) was also performed
