✦ Synopsis

recast ionic conductor added to the catalyst layer is a sensittve function of the nature of the catalyst. Other elements of membrane/electrode assembly (MEA) optimization efforts are also described, highlighting the ability to resolve, to a large degree, a well-documented problem of polymer electrolyte DMFCs, namely 'methanol crossover'. This was achieved by appropriate cell design, enabling fuel utilization as high as 90% in highly performing DMFCs. 00103419
