Abstract
A newly developed self-pumping counter-flow microfluidic fuel cell (MFC) is presented. An innovative passive pumping design based on hydrostatic principles is adopted to provide fuel and oxidant at a uniform flow rate as low as to 2μl min-1. The overall fuel-to-energy conversion efficiency and power density are both higher than that of a conventional active-pumping MFC. Other advantages including long term stable operation, simple design and fabrication, compact size, and low-cost production are demonstrated.
