In this paper, the effects of current collector on passive direct methanol fuel cell's (passive DMFC) performance and removing CO2 gas is studied. For this purpose, a single cell with two arrangements of current collector in anode and cathode side is considered. In first arrangement, non-uniform parallel channels with 53.76% open ratio is used in the anode side and a perforated flow field with 34.5% open ratio is applied in the cathode side. In second arrangement, uniform parallel channels with 42.28% open ratio has been used in both anode and cathode sides. At the first arrangement, a maximum power of 20 mW cm(-2) in 4 M methanol concentrations and in the second arrangement a maximum power of 17.7 mW cm(-2) in 5 M methanol concentrations has been obtained. Furthermore, it is shown that using the current collector with non-uniform parallel channels is more effective in removing CO2 gas than other parallel channels.
