Abstract Running direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC) with concentrated fuel is desirable to maximize the specific energy of the fuel cell system and to improve
the performance by mitigating the water flooding problem associated with diluted methanol operation. This article provides a comprehensive review
of recent advances in understanding mass transport phenomena in DMFCs operating with concentrated fuel. The review starts with elaborating the
key issues of mass transport of reactants and products associated with highly-concentrated methanol operation, followed by summarizing and
discussing past experimental and numerical investigations into the effects of the membrane electrode assembly More >
