Neah Power Systems, Inc. (NPWZ.OB) Displays Multi Fuel / Oxidant Capability of the Neah Cell
Neah Power Systems, Inc. today described its unique ability to utilize multiple fuel solutions to power methanol-powered fuel cells. The company’s porous silicon design allows for the use of a variety of oxidants and fuels, including oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, and nitric acid, while the anode loop has been run with several concentrations of methanol and formic acid for its fuel. Danny Wilks, Research Scientist, Neah Power Systems, explained, "All electrochemical cells have two fundamental parts: an anode and a cathode. These electrodes act in much the same way as terminals in a battery. The anode catalyzes a fuel source such…
