MicrocellsTM- A New Generation of Microfiber Based Fuel Cells

 

Microcells are microfiber based wholly extruded PEM fuel cells with a symmetric fiberous geometry ranging in size from a few hundred microns to a few millimeters in diameter.  Microcells are scalable electrochemical cells capable of producing electrical power in a range from a hundredth of a watt to multi-kilowatt assemblies operating on hydrogen or methanol. 

 

Microcell Corporation the world leader in microfiber based PEM fuel cells has developed this technology intended for applications ranging from electric vehicles, distributed generation, portable electronics to micro-electronics.  Microcell technology features a low cost, mass produced, extrusion-based fabrication process along with compact, easily serviceable and replaceable fuel cell cores. 

 

This presentation will provide an overview of Microcell technology along with performance characteristics of the cells and its use for a wide range of power generation application.
