Current density distribution in air-breathing microfluidic fuel cells with an array of graphite rod anodes

Bowen Deng et al.

Summary: This study investigates the current density distribution in air-breathing microfluidic fuel cells with an array of graphite rod anodes under different acidic and alkaline conditions. Results show that the performance of the cell is better under alkaline media compared to acidic media, with various current density distributions observed. In acidic media, two-layer anodes far from the cathode exhibit higher current densities at lower current densities, while the reverse occurs at higher current densities. In contrast, under alkaline conditions, the two-layer anodes far from the cathode are consistently the main contributor to the total current density.
