摘要

The energy efficiency of a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is dependent on the cell voltage, crossoverof oxygen and/or methanol through the polymer electrolyte membrane, and stoichiometry of themethanol oxidation reaction (i.e., the average number of electrons transferred per methanol molecule(n av )). The stoichiometry is determined by the product distribution (carbon dioxide: formic acid:formaldehyde) and the amount of methanol consumed. The influence of crossover is investigated byusing air and N 2 at the cathode. Accurate determination of n av requires analysis of the methanol andproducts from both the anode and cathode and quantitative determination of the consumption ofmethanol. In this work, n av values obtained from the analysis of the cell exhausts by proton NMR andinfrared spectrometry are compared with values obtained from a simple electrochemical method basedon the dependence of the current on the flow rate of the methanol solution. The methodology presentedhere provides a comprehensive evaluation of methanol oxidation, along with a full determination of themethanol consumption and hence the fuel efficiency of the cell. The methods are suitable for rapidevaluation of catalysts in fuel cell hardware with low-cost online sensors for determination of productdistributions.
