DMEc
DMEc refers to Direct Methanol Fuel Cells. These are a type of fuel cell that directly converts methanol into electrical energy. Unlike other fuel cell types that might require a reformer to process a fuel like methanol into hydrogen first, DMEc systems use methanol as the direct fuel source.
The core of a DMEc is an electrochemical cell. In a typical setup, methanol is supplied to
The overall reaction can be simplified as: CH3OH + 3/2 O2 → CO2 + 2H2O. A significant byproduct of
DMEc technology is attractive due to the high energy density of methanol, which is a liquid at
