abstract = "This paper reports on the design and characterization of a vapor feed direct methanol fuel cell with flowing acidic electrolyte. A vapor fuel feed has the advantage of reducing methanol crossover and facilitating the removal of CO2. We observed a maximum power density when using 10 M liquid methanol as the source for the vapor fuel feed. At this concentration, an optimal balance appears to exist between the desired increase in the rate of methanol oxidation and the undesired increase in the rate of methanol crossover, which both result from increasing the methanol concentration. Performance studies show that the system is kinetically limited by the oxidation of methanol.",
