Direct alcohol fuel cells were studied by using OH form anion-exchange membrane. The performance of the cell fueled with ethylene glycol was higher than that fueled with methanol, due to smaller polarization for electro-oxidation of ethylene glycol than that of methanol. Hence, ethylene glycol is superior to methanol in direct alcohol fuel cells employing anion-exchange membrane as electrolyte.
