本論文以實驗方法探討膜極組(MEA)製程各項操控參數對於直接甲醇燃料電池輸出功率的影響。文中依序探討壓製MEA時的壓製壓力、溫度與時間等因素對電池性能的影響。此外，並探討MEA壓製完成後的各種處理對電池輸出電壓與功率的影響。
本研究中陰極觸媒含量為4.0 mg/cm Pt Black，而陽極的觸媒含量則為，4.0 mg/cm ，80% Pt-Ru/C。membrane 為Nafion 117，雙極版為本實驗室發展出的非均質碳纖維單/雙極板。自行壓製單電池的MEA質子交換膜面積為3×3 cm ，電極面積1.5×1.5 cm 。研究發現，適當的壓製條件對MEA性能表現影響非常明顯，以120°C、100kg/cm 、90秒的壓製成的MEA，在甲醇濃度3M、自然進氣及室溫操作下，DMFC可以達到功率密度18 mW/cm 。
在實驗的過程中，發現MEA的性能會隨著使用時間增加而逐漸退化。針對此一現象，本研究亦設計一系列實驗檢視性能退化的各種可能原因並加以解決。
圓柱形DMFC是本實驗室發展重點之ㄧ，但由於第一代所使用的MEA以平板式電池為對象無法完全配合6-cell圓柱型電池組，故容易造成電極的剝離並增加接觸電阻；在經過重新自製MEA(電極面積15 cm )以及改造碳纖維束後，總功率目前已提升至135 mW，若6個cell性能均一則可提升至195mW，此電壓與功率可以提供某些可攜式電子產品之需求。

In this research the effects of the fabrication processes of MEA on the output power of a DMFC stack are studied by changing hot-pressing conditions including pressure, temperature and time. Additionally, the effects of the various treatments of the MEAs on the output voltage and power are also studied after the hot-pressing process of MEA is finished.
In the first experimental study the catalyst of cathode is 4.0mg/cm unsupported HP Pt black, Anode is 4.0mg/cm 80% HP Pt-Ru Alloy (1: 1), membrane is Nafion 117, and bipolar plates is heterogeneous carbon fiber bipolar plate developed by our fuel cell laboratory. The MEA for single cell includes the area of membrane 3*3 cm2 the active area of electrode 1.5*1.5 cm2. Under the hot-pressing conditions 120 oC, 100 bar and 90s, the maximum power density can reach a value of 18 mW/cm2 at the conditions of methanol concentration 3 M, air-breathing, and room temperature
After several experiments, we observed that performances of MEAs decayed with time. So we designed a series of experiments to inspect the various possible reasons and try to solve this problem.
The cylindrical DMFC is one of the most important developments in our lab. However, the MEAs made for plate-type DMFC do not fit the cylindrical DMFC stack properly. The electrodes easily pealed off from the membrane and the contact resistance increases after certain periods. So the hot-pressing device had been redesigned to fit the cylindrical DMFC stack. After that the total power of the 6-cell stack with total active area 15 cm2 can reach a value 135 mW. If the performance of each cell of the 6-cell stack is uniform, we expect that the total power of this stack can reach a higher value 195 mW, which can be applied to some portable electronic products.
