Popis: This paper considers the electrochemical kinetic model of alkaline methanol oxidation, the process, relevant for the design of efficient fuel cells. Fuel cells of direct methanol type have a great advantage in safety and storage compared to hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells. They possess high energy density and are especially suitable for portable applications. The oxidation of fuel in an alkaline medium allows the use of affordable electrodes.
