The invention discloses an arch-shaped self-
oxygen-supply 
waste heat utilization type 
direct methanol fuel cell comprising an arch-shaped shell, a 
pervaporation membrane, a central reaction part, an 
oxygen generation cavity and a 
thermodynamic cycle system. The arched shell is divided into a 
methanol fuel cavity and a steam cavity by the 
pervaporation membrane; a gas buffer structure is arranged in the steam cavity; the gas buffer structure comprises a first hydrophobic 
fiberboard and a first hydrophilic porous board arranged at an interval with the first hydrophobic 
fiberboard; the central reaction part is provided with an 
anode flow field plate, a membrane 
electrode and a 
cathode flow field plate, the membrane 
electrode is located between the 
anode flow field plate and the 
cathode flow field plate, and a second hydrophilic porous board is arranged between the 
anode flow field plate and the anode side of the membrane 
electrode; a second hydrophobic 
fiberboard is arranged between the 
cathode side of the membrane electrode and the cathode flow field plate; and the 
oxygen generation cavity is provided with a double-layer third hydrophobic fiberboard. The 
energy density of the 
cell iseffectively improved, and high-concentration 
methanol and even pure 
methanol supply of the 
cell is realized and thus the working time of the 
cell is prolonged.
