Abstract
The research is to fabricate the micro direct methanol fuel cell (μDMFC) by using MEMS technology. The goal is to apply the μDMFC in the portable electronic devices. Thus, to develop a simple and cheap fabrication for a micro direct methanol fuel cell is necessary. Furthermore, a good package is also an important part in order to obtain the good performance of μDMFC. Then we mearsured the performance of μDMFC under different conditions: the different concentration of methanol solution, different velocity of air, different operating environment temperature, and the ratio of area between channel and area of MEA. In addition, we use different metal to investigate whether th Pt can increase the area of catalyst to improve the power density or not.
