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 catalyst creating a redox reaction. This catalytic layer is time consuming and expensive to manufacture prohibiting large scale manufacture. This research paper studies the possible use of screen printing of the catalyst onto the PEM in a DMFC in order to allow for cost effective mass production of the MEA.
