| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We focused on the direct formic acid fuel cell as promising portable electric power generation devices which can operate for a long time. The power density of the DFAFC decreases with the time although the its initial power density is high. In this study, the novel electrode structure which can inhibit the performance decay due to the cathode, and the novel catalyst which can inhibit the poisoning of the anode catalyst were develop to prevent the performance decay of the DFAFC. The performance decay due to the cathode electrode could be successfully inhibited by the novel electrode structure. Regarding on the developed novel catalyst, it showed high resistance for the catalyst poisonings, however, it was found that the improvement for the cell fabrication method using this catalyst is required since the cell performance using developed catalyst was low.
