F221005 マイクロ燃料電池 : バイオ水素の可能性(【F22100】高付加価値エネルギー変換の最前線,マイクロ・ナノ工学部門企画,先端技術フォーラム)
詳細
In order to realize high added value energy conversion system, miniature fuel cell with biomass-derived hydrogen system was discussed. Biomass-derived fuel is widely thought as the most favorable energy source. However, the high cost for producing fuel with utilizable form is a big problem. Therefore, a novel energy conversion system, in which the cost of fuel is negligible and some advantages are expected, is desired. Energy source for portable electronics devices with renewable energy can be a good candidate, and we launched this new miniature fuel cell project. Preliminary power generation was demonstrated with biomass-derived hydrogen. Voltage boost from 0.5V to 3.3V was also realized with an in-house power conditioner.
