直接二甲醚燃料电池的研究进展

Research Progress on the Direct Dimethyl Ether Fuel Cell

综述了近几年来关于最具商业前景的直接二甲醚燃料电池的研究成果,文中主要探讨了新型阳极催化剂的开发,膜电极结构对电池性能的优化以及操作条件对电池性能的影响。建议在深入对催化剂、电池结构和操作条件的研究基础上,采用碱性电解质饱和二甲醚为燃料和双氧水替代氧气为氧化剂等方法进一步提高电池性能。

This paper reviews recent investigation achievements on the direct dimethyl ether fuel cell（DDFC） with great business prospects.This review mainly discusses the development of new anode catalysts for dimethyl ether（DME） electrooxidation,the performance optimization of different membrane electrode assemblies（MEAs） structure and the effects of different operation conditions.Besides in-depth on the present research,it is proposed that using the alkaline anolyte saturated DME as fuel and making peroxide hydrogen as alternative oxidant will further improve fuel cell performance.
