New Efficient Methanol Fuel Cell

Methanol Fuel Cell Membrane MIT engineers have improved the power output of one type of fuel cell by more than 50 percent through technology that could help these environmentally friendly energy storage devices find a much broader market, particularly in portable electronics. From MIT: The new material key to the work is also considerably less expensive than its conventional industrial counterpart, among other advantages. “Our goal is to replace traditional fuel-cell membranes wit
