Hitachi has revealed two DMFC technologies recently.
One of them concerns improvements of the high polymer electrolytic membrane. The result is that the methanol penetration of the electrolytic membrane is reduced half and the DMFC power generation efficiency is improved 5%.
The other concerns catalyst technologies to be applied to the fuel and air electrodes of the DMFC. Those catalyst technologies are free from platinum. The result is that the DMFC incorporating the technologies is reduced by 45% when compared with those using platinum.
Hitachi and CPI (The Centre for Process Innovation Ltd.) have signed an agreement to industrialize the DMFC in England. In the agreement, Hitachi will develop the DMFC and CPI will carry out the demonstration test of the developed DMFC. Hitachi has a long history to develop the DMFC, since 2001. > More
