摘要：

This paper reports on the development and performance test of an alkaline direct ethylene glycol fuel cell. The fuel cell consists of an anion-exchange membrane with non-platinum electrocatalysts at both the anode and cathode. It is demonstrated that this type of fuel cell with relatively cheap membranes and catalysts can result in a maximum power density of 67 mW cm(-2) at 60 degrees C, which represents the highest performance that has so far been reported in the open literature. The high performance is mainly attributed to the increased kinetics of both the ethylene glycol oxidation reaction and oxygen reduction reaction rendered by the alkaline medium with the anion-exchange membrane.
