In a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) with a Na"on membrane, a methanol solution fed to the anode permeates to the cathode. This phenomenon causes the depolarization loss at the cathode and the DMFC performance grows worse. In this research, by continuously measuring the concentration of CH OH, CO a

## Abstract The effect of methanol crossover on the fuel utilization of a passive direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) was reported. The results revealed that the Faradaic efficiency decreased from 46.9 to 17.4% when methanol concentration increased from 1.0 to 8.0โmolโL^โ1^ at the lower current densit
Laminar flow fuel cells (LFFCs) overcome some key issues -most notably fuel crossover and water management -that typically hamper conventional polymer electrolyte-based fuel cells. Here we report two methods to further minimize fuel crossover in LFFCs: (i) reducing the cross-sectional area between t
