A fuel supply device for direct methanol fuel cells. The fuel supply device for direct methanol fuel cells includes a fuel tank to store a liquid fuel, a cavity plate to store the liquid fuel transferred from the fuel tank, a thin film type active pump welded on the bottom of the cavity plate to bring about a movement of the cavity plate, and a nozzle plate disposed on the cavity plate to eject the liquid fuel. Accordingly, it is possible to actively control a liquid fuel in a needed amount and supply it to a fuel cell in accordance with a use mode of an electronic device and effectively remove by-products of the fuel cell, thereby improving the efficiency of the fuel cell.

摘要:
A fuel cell includes a cathode, an anode, an electrolyte membrane interposed between the cathode and the anode, and a porous layer containing a moisture retentive material. The anode includes an anode catalyst layer adjacent to the electrolyte membrane and an anode diffusion layer adjacent to the anode catalyst layer, and the porous layer is disposed between the anode catalyst layer and the electrolyte membrane. The performance of the fuel cell can be stably maintained even when a fuel supply is temporarily interrupted due to a malfunction of a pump or clogging of a fuel channel.
摘要:
A carbon nanosphere has at least one opening. The carbon nanosphere is obtained by preparing a carbon nanosphere and treating it with an acid to form the opening. The carbon nanosphere with at least one opening has higher utilization of a surface area and electrical conductivity and lower mass transfer resistance than a conventional carbon nanotube, thus allowing for higher current density and cell voltage with a smaller amount of metal catalyst per unit area of a fuel cell electrode.
