Motorola Researchers Report Progress in Miniaturizing Fuel Cell Power Source for Consumer Electronic Devices


Date(s): 9/26/00 8:27:00 PM


TEMPE, Arizona--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 26, 2000--Scientists at
Motorola Labs (NYSE:MOT) have reached another milestone in their
development of a new, miniature fuel cell that may one day replace
the traditional batteries that now power everything from cellular
phones and laptop computers to portable cameras and electronic
games. They have demonstrated a prototype of a ceramic-based
microfluidic fuel delivery system for a miniature direct methanol
fuel cell (DMFC).

"Portable electronics are becoming more essential to daily life
and increasingly we all want them to have new capabilities," said
Jerry Hallmark, manager of Motorola Labs` Energy Technology Lab.
"But adding features increases the demand on energy sources and
systems. We need to develop new energy solutions -- and fuel cells
could be the breakthrough technology. Our challenge is to make
these systems small, light and easy for consumers to use.
Eventually, these fuel cells could enable what people just dream
of today - a lightweight energy source that would safely power a
cellular phone for a month."

To produce energy, the new fuel cell uses a reservoir of
inexpensive methanol that, when combined with the oxygen in the
air, produces electricity at room temperature. Motorola`s initial
strategy is to develop a hybrid energy source, which combines a
miniature fuel cell with a rechargeable battery for peak power
demands.

The key to successfully miniaturizing a DMFC system is scaling
down the system components surrounding the actual fuel cell
device. Previous DMFC systems have used discrete tubes to mix the
methanol fuel with water and deliver it to the fuel cell. Motorola
has now successfully demonstrated the use of multi-layer ceramic
technology for processing and delivering fuel and air to the fuel
cell membrane electrode assembly (MEA). This fuel delivery system
can be built into a miniature fuel cell.

The prototype, shown this week at the Power 2000 Conference in San
Diego, CA, combines fuel mixing and microchannels for delivery,
substrate for MEA mounting, and electrical contact in just two
ceramic pieces. The lower ceramic piece handles the liquid fuel
processing while the upper piece provides for passive air delivery
(air-breathing). The MEA is sandwiched between the two ceramic
layers, making for simple assembly.

This ceramic technology also simplifies the interconnection of
multiple fuel cells. In this implementation, they are arranged in
a planar layout rather than a standard vertical stack. This
simplifies the design of the fuel cell system and eliminates the
need for an air fan or pump since all of the fuel cells are
exposed to air. Several cells are connected together in series
electrically to increase the output voltage of the system. This
simplifies the interface to the actual electronic system.

While the research work is expected to continue for a few more
years before being brought to market, the ceramic fluid-delivery
technology will be used to build an integrated 100mW DMFC system,
with the goal of five times the energy density of conventional Li-
Ion rechargeable batteries.

In laboratory testing, the ceramic fuel cell assembly, measuring
about two inches (5cm) on a side and less than one-half of an inch
(1cm) in thickness, produces over 100mW continuously, when
combined with an external fluid pumping system. It can output up
to 180mW depending on the load. The fuel cell prototype has been
operated for several weeks with very little degradation in
performance.

The "air breathing" fuel cell was developed in cooperation with
Los Alamos National Laboratory. The highly simplified and
miniaturized design eliminates the need for air pumps, heat
exchangers and other complex devices that previous fuel cells
required and which made them unsuitable for use in today`s small,
portable electronic products.

It`s envisioned that the methanol required to run electronic
devices could be packaged in small, inexpensive cartridges,
similar in size to fountain pen ink cartridges. Thus, the
technology could have the same consumer-friendliness as batteries.

Motorola Labs, Motorola`s Energy Systems Group and Los Alamos
National Lab are developing a center of excellence to implement
this new technology as quickly as possible.

The advanced direct methanol fuel cell technology at Los Alamos
National Laboratory was created with support from the Office of
Advanced Automotive Technologies of the U.S. Department of Energy
and the Defense Science Office of the Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency (DARPA). The University of California operates Los
Alamos National Laboratory for the U.S. Department of Energy.

Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) is a global leader in providing
integrated communications solutions and embedded electronic
solutions. Sales in 1999 were $33.1 billion. Motorola Labs serves
as the advanced research arm of the company, focusing on edge
technologies that may lead to future products and product
enhancements. Motorola Labs then works closely with researchers
and engineers in the product businesses to transfer the technology
into product development. Motorola also actively licenses
technologies developed in the Labs to external customers.

Motorola Fuel Cells: Technical Comments

A fuel cell converts chemical energy directly to electrical
energy. The basic concept of a fuel cell originated in 1839, but
practical applications came from NASA in the early days of space
flight.

Many kinds of fuel could be used in a fuel cell. The most active
fuel for fuel cells is hydrogen. However, hydrogen is a
flammable/explosive gas and is typically pressurized, which causes
practical concerns for transportation, storage, etc. Recently,
methanol has been considered as an alternate fuel. Methanol is
easier to handle and has a higher energy density than hydrogen
(that is, more energy for a given size and weight compared to
hydrogen).

A direct methanol fuel cell converts the energy in methanol
directly to electricity and operates at normal room temperatures.
A catalyst (typically a mixture of Platinum and Ruthenium) is used
to react a dilute mixture of methanol and water to form, protons
and electrons, which provide the electrical current, and the by-
product carbon dioxide. The electrons are collected and used to
power external loads such as portable electronics. The protons are
conducted through a proton-conducting organic membrane to another
platinum catalyst where the protons combine with electrons and
oxygen from the ambient air to form pure water. The generation of
electrons during the methanol-water reaction and their consumption
during the proton-oxygen reaction complete the electrical power
generation cycle of the fuel cell. Some of the water is recycled
back to mix with the methanol, and the excess water evaporates as
water vapor in the air.

The key technical challenges of fuel cells are to make them at a
cost lower than rechargeable batteries. Also, the entire fuel cell
system needs to be miniaturized to fit into today`s small portable
electronic equipment. Of course, one wants very high efficiency in
the conversion of methanol to electricity and a very long
operating life for the system. For more detailed information on
the general topic of fuel cells, a booklet is available from Los
Alamos National Lab entitled "Fuel Cells - Green Power". It is
