Research Abstract

It has been proposed a new direct methanol fuel cell employing bellows type assembly that is suitable for mass production. It has been shown a steady operation of the bellows type DMFC with an inserting air diffusion layer and a sewing conductive wire. It has been also proposed a flexible type DMFC with high flexibility and measured its steady operation.
