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.
