In situ and real-time visualisation of oxygen distribution in DMFC using a porphyrin dye compound.
A luminescent porphyrin dye film has been coated onto a transparent separator on the cathode side of a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) to visualise clearly oxygen distribution under operating conditions by analysing emission from the dye.
