Objetivo The proposal goal is to develop a complete 5 kW Direct Methanol Fuel Cell stack operating over 140 C. for use in cars. Specific stack targets will be fixed by car manufacturers in the early stage of the project. In order to meet these objectives, innovative cell components, hybrid membranes and catalysts, will be developed aiming at a power density of 300 mW/cm2.In the first Phase a 1.25 kW module will be designed, assembled and tested. The adjusted cell components, thermal, mechanical, electrical and water managements will be optimised. New catalysts and membranes will be developed.In Phase II the optimised components will be selected and the module design refined and upgraded to a 5 kW stack. The project is part of the EUCAR cluster, which has the general objective to obtain a matching set of components needed to assemble complete fuel cell car demonstrators.
