Abstract
In this work, we report on the development of a solar light driven micro fuel (H /O ) generation device based on the microfluidic chip platform which can be later applied in fabrication of portable micro fuel cell devices. We successfully integrated Pt microelectrode and TiO nanostructure as a phototoanode with the help of bottom up and top down technological processes in order to create an internal fuel generation and a separation system in the micro scale area. We describe the device concept and demonstrate its working principle under solar light illumination, and successfully verified H /O generation rate by GC-MS in the microfluidic chip.
