Abstract
Fuel compositions, methods of making the compositions, and fuel cell systems including a fuel composition are disclosed. In some embodiments, a fuel composition includes a polymer, and a fuel such as methanol, wherein the composition has a hardness of at least about 2 grams peak force, as determined by penetration test using a texture analyzer.
Claims45
A fuel composition, comprising a polymer, and a fuel, wherein the composition has a hardness of at least about 2 grams peak force as determined by a penetration test using a texture analyzer.
A fuel composition, comprising an inorganic polymer forming a network of chemical bonds, and at least about 40% by weight of methanol in the network.
A fuel cell system, comprising:
- a fuel cell comprising an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte between the anode and the cathode;
- and
- a fuel source in fluid communication with the anode, the fuel source comprising a composition comprising a polymer, and a fuel, wherein the composition has a hardness of at least about 2 grams peak force, as determined by penetration test using a texture analyzer.
A method of making a fuel composition, comprising:
- contacting a polymerizable material, methanol, and a catalyst;
- and
- polymerizing the polymerizable material.
