TL;DR: In this article, the principles and mechanisms of direct alkaline alcohol fuel cells (DAAFCs) in alcohol oxidation and oxygen reduction are discussed, and anion exchange membranes are used in present DAAFC.

TL;DR: In this paper, a direct methanol alkaline fuel cell (DMAFC) using an anion exchange polymer electrolyte membrane is described, and it is found that the cell performance improved drastically with a membrane assembly electrode (MEA) which did not include the gas diffusion layer on the anode, because of lower reactant mass transfer resistance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the latest developments in alkaline fuel cells, considering different types of fuels, novel catalysts and anion exchange membranes, particularly the new designs for portable or microelectronic devices.

TL;DR: In this article, the electro-oxidation of methanol was carried out on a platinised electrode in various alkaline media to examine the role of OH ads species and the influence of anions in the electrolyte on the methanoline oxidation reaction.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of the sources of organic wastes from biorefineries for integration with MES, anodic and cathodic substrates and biocatalysts, and a generic and effective reaction and thermodynamic modelling framework for the MES has been given for the first time.
