Proton exchange membrane and bio-Fenton micro fuel cells for energy harvesting, gas leakage detection, and dye degradation.

ABSTRACT: The present work focuses on the non-conventional design and operation of micro fuel cells. Two different kinds of fuel cells, Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) and Biological Fenton (BF) based fuel cells, are fabricated to harvest energy. For the PEM fuel cell, H₂ and O₂ are generated by Mg/HCl reaction and Fenton's reaction respectively, and are subsequently fed into two terminals of the PEM fuel cell. For the BF fuel cell, the reaction product of hemoglobin (Hb) with hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is used as a source of chemical fuel to generate electrical energy within the fuel cell. An array of PEM microscale fuel cells is fabricated to scale up the reaction which can be used for MEMS/NEMS applications. Furthermore, the application of this adhesive an
