Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC)

Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) is a fuel cell that runs directly on methanol (or various liquid fuels) without having to first convert those fuels into hydrogen gas. It consists of two electrodes separated by a proton exchange membrane (PEM) and connected via an external circuit that allows the conversion of free energy from the chemical reaction of methanol with air or oxygen to be directly converted into electrical energy.
