New Material for Direct-Methanol Fuel Cells (DMFC) increases Power Output by More Than 50 percent

A team from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has recently created a new material for direct-methanol fuel cells (DMFC) which increases power output by more than 50 percent. The team used layer-by-layer assembly technique and able to creates a thin firm (nanomembrane) less permeable to methanol as compares to Nafion which presently used in the market. Read more in "MIT creates new material for fuel cells".

This significant improvement in nano technology and fuel cell industry. Fuel cell is known as one of the environment friendly energy source has obtained serious attention by many governments and high level education. This break-through probably lead nano and fuel technology to another level.
