Title:
An Innovative Triple Function Cathode for MEMS Fuel Cells
Summary:
This project will use a single material for use in miniature electric power sources that replaces three materials used in conventional fuel cells thus simplifying their assembly and reducing their cost. This improved miniature fuel cell system provides more power for longer to portable electronics while reducing the quantity of toxic battery materials.
