Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) represent a promising technology for portable power generation, combining a simple design with the advantages of using liquid methanol as a fuel. DMFCs convert ...

A German company has introduced a "wearable" fuel cell that uses direct methanol fuel cell technology, doing away with the weighty mechanical components usually associated with generation of ...

PowerCell Group has secured an approval in principle (AIP) from classification society DNV for its methanol-to-power solution. The system integrates a methanol reformer from RIX Industries with the ...

Cotton-based fiber fuel cells can now convert methanol into electricity while sustaining peak power density through 2,000 continuous flex cycles. This breakthrough paves the way for safe, ...

I’ve been following the development of Toshiba’s direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) since I first saw a prototype in 2003. Since then new prototypes have been rolled out once or twice a year but it ...
