Abstract

Abstract:

In recent years, significant developments in direct formic acid fuel cell(DFAFC) have been made. It was reported that the largest energy density of DFAFC with Pd as anodic catalyst is 0.25 W/cm², which is close to that of proton exchange membrane fuel cell(PEMFC) with hydrogen as fuel and indicates the excellent development prospects of DFAFC. This review summarized the research development in DFAFC, the mechanism of the oxidation of formic acid, the underlined reason and mechanism of the increase in the performance of Pd based composite catalysts, the main problems of DFAFC and described its development prospects.

Key words: Direct formic acid fuel cell, Chemical principle, Anodic catalyst, Pd catalyst
