Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, a micro fuel-cell in 10 to 100 micro meter diameter is developed. Under an ethanol aqueous solution environment, the fuel-cell can be operated. The micro fuel-cell can be integrated up to 200 cell in 1 cm square size chip. The integrated chip can be operated as a functional fuel-cell such as output voltage and current control. By operating micro charge onto micro particles, relative strong interaction force acts to condense among micro particles. Two original papers and international presentation can be accomplished.
