Question

Explain about methonal_oxygen fuel cell in few lines and reactions

Answer 1

1.Direct-methanol fuel cells or DMFCs are a subcategory of proton-exchange fuel cells in which methanol is used as the fuel. Their main advantage is the ease of transport of methanol, an energy-dense yet reasonably stable liquid at all environmental conditions.

2.Efficiency is quite low for these cells, so they are targeted especially to portable applications, where energy and power density are more important than efficiency.

3.A more efficient version of a direct fuel cell would play a key role in the theoretical use of methanol as a general energy transport medium, in the hypothesized methanol economy.
