Development of Electrical Energy Storage Device Using Direct-Acting Fuel Cells Based on Methanol

Abstract

A method of storing electrical energy and generating it by using a direct-acting methanol fuel cell is proposed. The analysis of the operation of a fuel cell under direct and inverse chemical reactions is shown. The chemical reactions, occurring at the anode and cathode, are indicated. A concept device for the accumulation and generation of electrical energy for an individual energy efficient home with 10kW of power for 24 hours is presented.
