The faster kinetics of the alcohol oxidation and oxygen reduction reactions in alkaline direct alcohol fuel cells (ADAFCs), opening up the possibility of using less expensive metal catalysts, as silver, nickel and palladium, makes the alkaline direct alcohol fuel cell a potentially low cost technolo

Abstract
Alkaline fuel cells may become an important element in pollution free energy conversion. In the literature most papers in the field of low temperature fuel cells are concerned with polymer electrolyte fuel cells. However, there are still a lot of research groups and companies working on alkaline fuel cells.
The advantages and disadvantages of AFCs are presented. The main technical problems are solved. It can be concluded, due to work carried out at DLR, that carbon dioxide poisoning of electrodes from rolled DLR electrodes does not take place. These investigations demonstrate that AFCs are highly efficient cells for portable and stationary applications.
