Embodiment 1

[0096] [Example 1] PEN-IIR (DME: water = 1: 4)

[0097] Such as figure 1 In the fuel cartridge shown, PEN is used for the outer casing, and IIR is used for the sealing part. The case has a diameter of 20mm, a height of 71mm, a thickness of 2mm, and a capacity of approximately 13.5mL. The shell was filled with a mixture of 3.53g DME and 5.53g water as fuel.

[0098] Place the fuel cartridge containing the fuel at 65 °C for 8 h. Afterwards, use such as Figure 5 A reformed hydrogen fuel cell with the fuel cartridge shown was subjected to fuel reforming tests. Tests have shown a stable 20W output power for 30 minutes, and a carbon monoxide concentration of 20ppm or less.

[0099] The fuel can be visually inspected from the outside during the test and even after the test.

Embodiment 2

[0100] [Example 2] PEN-IIR (DME: water = 1: 3)

[0101] Such as figure 1 In the fuel cartridge shown, PEN is used for the outer casing, and IIR is used for the sealing part. The case has a diameter of 20mm, a height of 71mm, a thickness of 2mm, and a capacity of approximately 13.5mL. The shell was filled with a mixture of 3.53g DME and 4.14g water as fuel.

[0102] Place the fuel cartridge containing the fuel at 65 °C for 8 h. Afterwards, use such as Figure 5 A reformed hydrogen fuel cell with the fuel cartridge shown was subjected to fuel reforming tests. Tests have shown a stable 20W output power for 30 minutes, and a carbon monoxide concentration of 20ppm or less.

[0103] The fuel can be visually inspected from the outside during the test and even after the test.

Embodiment 3

[0104] [Example 3] PEN-FFKM

[0105] Such as figure 1 As shown in the prepared fuel cartridge, the shell adopts PEN, and the sealing part adopts FFKM. The case has a diameter of 20mm, a height of 71mm, a thickness of 2mm, and a capacity of approximately 13.5mL. The shell was filled with a mixture of 3.53g DME and 5.53g water as fuel.

[0106] Place the fuel cartridge containing the fuel at 65 °C for 8 h. Afterwards, use such as Figure 5 A reformed hydrogen fuel cell with the fuel cartridge shown was subjected to fuel reforming tests. Tests have shown a stable 20W output power for 30 minutes, and a carbon monoxide concentration of 20ppm or less.

[0107] The fuel can be visually inspected from the outside during the test and even after the test.

Abstract

A cartridge applied to a fuel cell is provided with: a fuel including at least two selected from the group of an organic compound having an ether linkage, an organic compound having an O-H linkage, and water; and a container to house the fuel, the container including one selected from the group of a casing of a resin including naphthalate system polyester and a casing of a metal having an inner coating of a resin including naphthalate system polyester.

Description

[0001] Related application reference [0002] This application is based on and claims the benefit of priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-070061 (filed March 11, 2005); the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a fuel cartridge for containing fuel for a fuel cell, and a fuel cell for generating electric energy using the fuel supplied from the fuel cartridge. Background technique [0004] Over the past few years, fuel cell development has focused on stationary fuel cells. In recent years, interest in the development of portable fuel cells applicable to various portable information instruments such as mobile phones, notebook computers, etc. has increased. [0005] The direct methanol fuel cell (hereinafter referred to as DMFC) proposed today is a preferred type of portable fuel cell in whi...
