Low porosity anode diffusion media for fuel cells

摘要

A direct oxidation fuel cell (DOFC) having a concentrated liquid fuel and an anode electrode configured to generate power. The anode electrode includes a diffusion medium (DM) with or without a microporous layer, such that a decrease in the porosity of the DM reduces fuel crossover through the membrane and achieves high power density of the DOFC fed directly with concentrated fuel.
