However, tow major technical barriers have been confining its performance: significant anodic activation overpotential and methanol crossover phenomenon. Methanol crossover not only reduces the operating voltage, but also induces ineffective fuel consumption. It should be well managed by material design or system integration and control. Generally speaking, since the quantity of methanol crossover flux is very tiny and varies with different operating conditions, it should be evaluated by adopting delicate instrument and techniques in a laboratory. Practically, it is difficult to acquire quantitative information about methanol crossover flux in an operating fuel cell system under various conditions. The present thesis therefore proposes a semi-empirical model for evaluating methanol crossover flux that takes operating temperature, fuel concentration, and electronic loads into account. It is capable of providing in-situ estimation of methanol crossover flux to diagnose the status of the system and serve as the basis of controlling strategies. In the thesis, the effect of carbon-dioxide crossover phenomenon is considered to enhance the validity of the proposed model. According to the analysis of the corresponding parameters and variables, the results may provide suggestions on material design and system control. Finally, the degradation issue is also discussed.
