Electro-oxidation of Dimethyl Ether in a Polymer-Electrolyte-Membrane Fuel Cell
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The possibility of using dimethyl ether (DME) as a fuel in direct oxidation polymer‐electrolyte‐membrane (PEM) fuel cells is investigated. A mechanism for DME electro‐oxidation is proposed based on the results of half‐cell experiments using cyclic voltammetry combined with gas‐chromatographic (GC) analyses of a single direct DME fuel cell. It is shown that, as a consequence of this mechanism, there is an additional overpotential at the anode of a direct DME fuel cell which is related to the initial adsorption step on the catalyst surface. DME is typically not oxidized at the cathode of a PEM fuel cell. This minimizes unwanted effects of fuel crossover, leading to improved fuel‐cell efficiencies compared to direct methanol fuel cells, especially at low‐to‐medium current densities. © 2000 The Electrochemical Society.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
