Abstract(in English) In recent years, the power consumption of portable devices such as cellular phones and notebook PCs has been increasing. These devices thus require a high energy density power supply. Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (DMFCs), whose theoretical energy density is 10 or more times greater than that of current lithium ion batteries, are expected to become the future power sources for such devices. We have previously proposed a zigzag-type DMFC that is suitable for mass production, since it does not require complicated separators, unlike the conventional stack-type structure. In the present study, we investigated the effects of semi-active air supply conditions such as air flow mass and air tube configuration on the power output of the DMFC.
