Abstract
With the rapid development and increasing market demand in the field of micro power sources, micro fuel cells based on microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology have been attracting more and more social attentions due to the great application prospects in the future. In this paper, the general situation of the overseas applications of micro fuel cells is introduced in detail. The feasibility of micro fuel cells fabrication using MEMS technology and characteristics of different types of MEMS-based micro fuel cells are briefly discussed. Combining with the critical components including the monopolar plate and membrane electrode assembly (MEA), the latest research progress of MEMS-based micro fuel cells are also summarized systematically. Finally, the existing problems and development trend are analyzed, and the urgent demand for developing MEMS-based micro fuel cells in our country is demonstrated.
