Mass Transfer and Performance of Membrane-Less Micro Fuel Cell: A Review

Membrane-less micro fuel cells (MMFCs) are high potential alternative power sources compared to conventional batteries. They use the advantage of laminar flow without the presence of a membrane to separate the anode and the cathode. This article is a wide-ranging review of recent studies on mass tra...
