基于聚合物电解质膜的直接甲酸燃料电池(DFAFC)的研究已有近十年的历史，现已成为便携式电力系统研究的重要领域。DFAFC具有电动势高(理论开路电位1.48V)、燃料交叉有限、低温功率密度合理等优点。本文综述了DFAFC的最新研究进展，重点介绍了甲酸电氧化的阳极催化剂。还介绍了DFAFC的基本化学、甲酸通过Nafion®膜的渗透以及DFAFC结构的发展。
Polymer electrolyte membrane-based direct formic acid fuel cells (DFAFC) have been investigated for about a decade, and are now becoming an important area of portable power system research. DFAFCs have the advantages of high electromotive force (theoretical open circuit potential 1.48V), limited fuel crossover, and reasonable power densities at low temperatures. This paper provides a review of recent advances in DFAFCs, mainly focussing on the anodic catalysts for the electro-oxidation of formic acid. The fundamental DFAFC chemistry, formic acid crossover through Nafion®membranes, and DFAFC configuration development are also presented.
