Title: | Transport phenomena in alkaline direct ethanol fuel cells for sustainable energy production | Authors: | An, L Zhao, TS |
Issue Date: | 15-Feb-2017 | Source: | Journal of power sources, 15 Feb. 2017, v. 341, p. 199-211 | Abstract: | Alkaline direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFC), which convert the chemical energy stored in ethanol directly into electricity, are one of the most promising energy-conversion devices for portable, mobile and stationary power applications, primarily because this type of fuel cell runs on a carbon-neutral, sustainable fuel and the electrocatalytic and membrane materials that constitute the cell are relatively inexpensive. As a result, the alkaline DEFC technology has undergone a rapid progress over the last decade. This article provides a comprehensive review of transport phenomena of various species in this fuel cell system. The past investigations into how the design and structural parameters of membrane electrode assemblies and the operating parameters affect the fuel cell performance are discussed. In addition, future perspectives and challenges with regard to transport phenomena in this fuel cell system are also highlighted. | Keywords: | Alkaline direct ethanol fuel cells Cell performance Fuel cells Membrane electrode assembly Transport phenomena |
