Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The main objective of the proposed research is the development of a methanol/air fuel cell operating at a temperature of ca 80C so that methanol is the vapour state. The cell which uses an aqueous electrolyte, is aimed at automotive power. The project will involve development of suitable catalysts and conductors and will probe the mechanisms of onodic methanol oxidation at the vapour/liquid solid interface.
