Electro-chemical reaction Diagram of PEM MEA. A membrane electrode assembly (MEA) is an assembled stack of proton-exchange membranes (PEM) or alkali anion exchange membrane (AAEM), catalyst and flat plate electrode used in fuel cells and electrolyzers. [1] [2]
Demonstration model of a direct methanol fuel cell (black layered cube) in its enclosure Scheme of a proton-conducting fuel cell. A fuel cell is an electrochemical cell that converts the chemical energy of a fuel (often hydrogen) and an oxidizing agent (often oxygen) [1] into electricity through a pair of redox reactions. [2]
The car "Schluckspecht" completed a successful test drive on Nogaro Circuit, powered by a DEFC stack giving an output voltage of 20 to 45 V (depending on load). [4] Various prototypes of Direct Ethanol Fuel Cell Stack mobile phone chargers have been built [5] featuring voltages from 2V to 7V and powers from 800 mW to 2W [6] were built and tested.

This provides another operational benefit to the fuel cell stack because the reforming reaction is endothermic, which cools the stack internally. The most common material used is a cermet made up of nickel mixed with the ceramic material that is used for the electrolyte in that particular cell, typically YSZ (yttria stabilized zirconia).

Fuel Cell Diagram. Note: Electrolyte can be a polymer or solid oxide. A fuel cell consists of an electrolyte which is placed in between two electrodes – the cathode and the anode. In the simplest case, hydrogen gas passes over the cathode, where it is decomposed into hydrogen protons and electrons.
