Methanol fuel cell development

A variant of hydrogen fuel cells that use methanol as fuel to generate electricity.

The core component of a fuel cell where electrochemical reactions occur, containing catalysts like platinum.

A membrane used in electrolyzers and hydrogen fuel cells that is permeable to hydrogen. A key challenge is managing hydrogen crossover through this membrane.
