摘要：

The direct methanol type system consists of simple and compact equipment, and is suited for automobile use. However this system possesses low power density and its internal resistance needs to be reduced. This research investigated characteristics of power output and thermal efficiency in a proton-exchange-membrane fuel cell directly fuelled with methanol solution. Some influences of catalyst amount and separator groove design on power output were also found. (C) 2002 Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan, Inc. and Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
