Column Excerpt: Fuel Cells and Advanced Batteries Vie for Portable Power Market
By Catherine Lacoursiere
March 1st, 2006

Fuel cells, advanced battery technologies and hybrid technologies all hope to
supplant and/or complement the lithium ion battery. The major competition in
portable fuel cells is between hydrogen and direct methanol fuel cell technology.
Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC) are an earlier stage technology with a number of
technical issues still to be ironed out, including low power density and efficiency.
DMFC's require a more active and expensive catalyst to prevent corrosion, such as
platinum.

Nonetheless, it is a proven technology in portable applications and a very active
area of research. The DMFC can convert cheap liquid fuels directly to hydrogen,
dispensing of the reforming unit, which also provides the potential for smaller
footprints. The stock price of Polyfuel (LSE: PYF.L), a maker of membranes used in
DMFCs, has been climbing steadily since its IPO last year.
