- MERIT Ltd. has succeeded to expand their DBFC
(Direct Borohydride Fuel Cell) product pallet from 10Watt –
400Watt.
– Feb. 12, 2004. Scientists of
MERIT Ltd. have succeeded to develop Direct Borohydride Fuel Cells
from 10W up to 400W.
The DBFC seems to
be the most promising Fuel Cell technique yet available. Major
problems like the storage of the fuel and the low cell voltage of
traditional Fuel cells have been solved.
The key to the success of this new type of Fuel Cell is
the use of a Borohydride solution as fuel. This alkali solution is
not only a safe energy source which is easy to store, but also
environmental friendly due to no emission and the fact that it can
be recycled. Further more Borohydride has the ability to release 8
instead of 4 electrons through the catalyst
reaction.

the DBFC or other Borohydride applications please visit our

- MERIT Ltd. is happy to present a prototype of
their 1,64V μDBFC (micro Direct Borohydride Fuel
Cell).
– Feb. 15, 2004. MERIT Ltd.
leading company in developing Borohydride applications has
succeeded in constructing a prototype of their DBFC (Direct
Borohydride Fuel Cell) in micro dimensions.
This μDBFC is not only small in size, but also shows amazing
performance. Prof. S.Suda president of MERIT Ltd. pointed out
after presenting their new product to the public.
Different to traditional Fuel Cells, which use Hydrogen
as fuel to produce electricity, MERIT products use
Borohydride.
One of the many advantages
of Borohydride as fuel for Fuel Cells is that a theoretical
voltage of 1,64V (instead of 1,23V by traditional Fuel Cells) can
be reached. The reason that such high cell voltage can be obtained
from this system is, that hydrogen exists as a negative ion
(protide: H-) in the complex ion of
BH4-. The fact which needs attention is that
a protide can release twice as much electron as a proton. This
leads to the difference of the theoretical
voltage.

DBFC or other Borohydride applications please visit our homepage.

μDBFC can be downloaded here.
