Direct alcohol alkaline fuel cells (DAAFC) are one of the potential fuel cell types in the category of low temperature fuel cells, which could become an energy source for portable electronic equipment in future. In the present study, a simple DAAFC stack ha been developed and studied to evaluate the maximum performance for a given fuel (methanol or ethanol) and electrolyte (KOH) at various concentrations and temperatures. The open circuit voltage of the stack of four cells was nearly 4.0 V. A particular combination, 2 M fuel (methanol or ethanol) and 3 M KOH, results in maximum power density of the stack. The maximum power density obtained from the DAAFC stack (25 degrees C) was 50 mW cm(-2) at 20 mA cm(-2) for methanol and 17 mA cm(-2) for ethanol. The stack power density corroborated with that obtained from a single cell, indicating there was no further loss in the stack.
