DIRECT METHANOL FUEL CELL WITH CIRCULATING ELECTROLYTE

摘要

The invention describes an improved direct methanol fuel cell system which provides means for substantially reducing the amount of chemicals or reaction product s which may penetrate through the pores of one electrode into the adjacent electrolyte a nd ultimately reach the other electrode, where they may react in a chemical way, thereby establishin g a crossover situation which reduces the overall efficiency of the electrochemical reaction.
