摘要 |
An electrochemical device (or a fuel cell) which comprises a negative electrode, a positive electrode, and a proton conducting portion held between these two electrodes, said proton conducting portion being a fullerenol electrolyte, said negative electrode having a fuel supply port through which methanol and water are fed. The electrochemical device is based on combination of the solid electrolyte and the direct methanol method (in which methanol is directly oxidized with water). It generates a high electric power without cross-over, it achieves improved fuel efficiency, and it permits selection from a broad range of electrode catalysts.
