Metallic Glasses are New Base for Micro Fuel Cell
Engineers at Yale Univ. have developed a new breed of micro fuel cell that could serve as a long-lasting, low-cost and eco-friendly power source for portable electronic devices, such as tablet computers, smart phones and remote sensors. The researchers describe the novel device in a paper published online in the journal Small.
An alternative to a battery, a fuel cell is an electrochemical device that combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce energy, giving off only water and heat as byproducts. But the materials and methods commonly used for making micro fuel cells are fragile, inefficient and expensive.
