摘要：
Although hydrogen is the fuel of choice for many energy-conversion systems, its widespread use is limited by its cost. Some fuel cells can use natural gas (methane), but require high operating temperatures to process the methane internally. New intermediate-temperature fuel cells that can oxidize methane directly are a promising alternative.
