35. As an alternative, methanol, ethanol, or formic acid could be directly converted in direct fuel cells into electrical energy at ambient temperatures. Although the direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is already available as power supply for particular portable electronic devices, it still suffers from a slow methanol oxidation and a performance loss resulting from methanol "crossover" and poisoning of the cathode catalyst. The direct formic acid fuel cell (DFAFC) has some advantages compared to the DMFC but is still under investigation and only some prototypes have been reported. Mainly the catalysts for the anode and cathode reactions have to be improved with respect to increased efficiency and stability to reach the same power densities as H#inf#2#/inf#/O#inf#2#/inf# fuel cells. a) C.
