DuPont Fuel Cells reveals a new direct methanol technology
Drafting QU01/08/2005
dupont Fuel cells has announced its latest technology, DuPont Gen IV, for a new generation of components MEA (Membrane Electrode Assemblies - membrane electrode assemblies). With it, provides more power performance and longer operating times to direct methanol fuel cells.
DuPont Gen IV MEA technology requires a catalytic charge significantly less than previous generations, however providing an increase of approximately 20 per cent in density of power and more that doubling the durability and reliability. At the same time, this provides systems with cost effective fuel cells.
New technology facilitates the development of direct fuel cells of methanol through original equipment manufacturers.
The new technology provides an increase of approximately 20 per cent in power density and doubles the durability and reliability
This type of fuel cells provide portable equipment of power for electronic applications of consumption, including laptops and mobile phones, as well as units of industrial, recreational or military uses.

"Our new Gen IV technology has shown great advantages for those who develop systems DMFC (direct methanol fuel cell - fuel cell direct methanol)," said Richard Okine, director of DuPont Fuel Cells technology. "DuPont has a commitment to continue its leadership in the development of fuel cell technology, doing so science work to respond to the needs of our customers and get the best technologies of the market to provide cleaner energy"", economic and sustainable."
DuPont Fuel Cells is an organization of development of the technology of products from the cells of fuel along with leading players in this industry. Orienting the technology to make fuel cells a commercial reality both short and long term, its mission is to become a supplier of first global line of membranes and components of fuel cell in the membrane of exchange of Proton (proton Exchange membrane pem) that generates energy for automobilesElectronics and housing.
