Abstract
Fuel cell systems including a fuel composition are disclosed. In some embodiments, a fuel composition includes an organic polymer, and a fuel such as methanol, and the composition has a hardness of at least about 2 grams peak force, as determined by penetration test using a texture analyzer.
Claims12
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 rigid composition comprising an organic polymer, and a fuel, wherein the rigid composition has a hardness of at least about 2 grams peak force, as determined by penetration test using a texture analyzer;
- and wherein when the fuel cell is in operation the composition delivers the fuel in vapor form to the fuel cell at a controlled rate without use of mechanical assistance or a pervaporation membrane.
