北极星沙龙第三十四期：Introduction of Direct Alcohol Fuel Cells

Direct alcohol fuel cells (DAFCs) have been considered as one of the most potentially suitable
power sources for portable applications because of their high power density, easy handling, quiet
working mode and low/zero pollution at room temperature. This talk will give a brief introduction of
direct alcohol fuel cell including its origin, advantages, challenges, research or technology status
and prospect.
