Next Generation Fuel Cell

masala2.blogspot.com Kyushu Institute of Technology research group proposes using ethanol as a direct fuel in next-generation fuel cells. Ethanol powered fuel cells up to now have had a number of drawbacks including low catalytic performance, poor fuel cell efficiency, and a decrease in open voltage due to ethanol crossover when the ethanol concentration was increased to boost efficiency. The Kyushu University research group is proposing the use of a direct ethanol fuel cell to address these problems. First, it is possible to boost the fuel cell performance while operating at room temperature by using oxidized nanoparticles as the anode catalyst. Next a composite catalyst is used for the cathode catalyst. This arrangement curbs the decrease in the open voltage caused by ethanol crossover, and makes it possible to use a highly concentrated ethanol solution. Researchers are looking to develop a commercially feasible low-load fuel cell that uses ethanol, a renewable fuel, as a direct fuel. . http diginfo Kyushu Institute of Technology Ethanol Battery fuel Innovation Japan

APC announces next-generation fuel cell product for datacenters.(NEW PRODUCTS): An article from: Green Data Centers & Internet Business

With B-Class F-Cell, Mercedes rolls out an impressive steppingstone
The electric, hydrogen-powered subcompact has all the advantages of the gas-gulping version, including luxury and a quiet ride. In the U.S., it’s available only in Los Angeles. The only Mercedes hatchback on the U.S. market, the 2011 B-Class F-Cell, wouldn’t be recognizable as a Benz if it weren’t for its premium badge.
