Tiivistelmä
Direct Methanol Fuel Cells have been a promising source of alternative energy as the supply of conventional fuels is slowly being diminished. At the heart of this electrochemical cell a Proton Exchange Membrane laced with a Pt and Pt-Ru catalyst creating a redox reaction. The mechanical properties and composition of this catalyst will be main driving factor in determining how well the fuel cell will perform. This research paper replicates and furthers the research in the catalyst structure used in the DMFC and as such the work represents research in progress.
