Smart methanol fuel cell
Fuel cell. Hand holding a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC), a chemical reactor that converts methanol and water into electricity. DMFCs are more efficient and cleaner than conventional batteries. They last a lot longer and weigh less for the amount of energy that they provide. The waste products of this fuel cell are water and a small amount of carbon dioxide, making it more environmentally friendly than existing batteries and fossil fuel engines. This is the first DMFC to be portable, allowing it to be used for powering demanding items such as laptop computers and video cameras. It has been manufactured by Smart Fuel Cell Ltd, Munich, Germany

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a groundbreaking innovation in the world of energy production - a smart methanol fuel cell. In this image, we see a hand delicately holding a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC), which acts as a chemical reactor converting methanol and water into electricity. What makes DMFCs truly remarkable is their superior efficiency and cleanliness compared to conventional batteries. These compact powerhouses last significantly longer and weigh less for the amount of energy they provide. Moreover, their waste products consist solely of water and minimal carbon dioxide emissions, making them an environmentally friendly alternative to existing batteries and fossil fuel engines. A notable achievement highlighted by this photograph is that it represents the first-ever portable DMFC developed by Smart Fuel Cell Ltd in Munich, Germany. This breakthrough allows these advanced fuel cells to power demanding devices such as laptop computers and video cameras on-the-go. The significance of this technological advancement cannot be overstated; it marks a pivotal moment in the quest for sustainable energy solutions. With its lightweight design, German engineering prowess, and clean energy production capabilities, this DMFC holds immense promise for revolutionizing various industries reliant on electricity. Captured by Science Photo Library, this image serves as a testament to human ingenuity in creating greener alternatives that pave the way towards a more sustainable future without compromising our need for efficient power sources.
