Their respective combustion characteristics of caloric value, combustion efficiency and components of smoke were synthetically analyzed by employing the electronic weighing devices, the rotor flow-meter, intelligent flue gas analyzer, advanced bomb calorimeter, etc., referring to the feasibility of taking it as a fuel for general use. Experiment results show that Methanol-base fuel not only has superiorities on combustion characteristics but also bears energy saving and environmental protection advantages.展开更多

Dramatic improvements in electrocatalytic activity （3x） and stability （60x） for methanol oxidation were found, suggesting promising applications in direct methanol fuel cells. The 3x and 60x improvements persist for Pt/Pd catalysts used to overcome the CO poisoning problem.展开更多
