Selection of Fuel Mixture for a New Generation Membraneless Fuel Cell

Abstract

Membraneless fuel cells running on ethanol have been proposed as a clean energy source for a new generation. The use of two conducting immiscible liquids is shown, the phase boundary of which acts as a virtual membrane. The advantages of this development over membrane fuel cells and membraneless flow fuel cells are noted. The main reactions occurring in the fuel cell are considered, a rationale is presented, and the choice of fuel mixture is made.
