ABSTRACT
Abstract – (Max. 250 words)

The growing demand for renewable energy sources, sometimes far from the place of consumption, has led to consider the conversion of these energies into fuels, allowing its transport and storage. This is the case of hydrogen, which can be transported in form of methanol, more suitable for transport and storage, obtained by the synthesis process of CO2 and hydrogen. In this way, the application of methanol as an energy vector arises.

Once methanol reaches its place of use, it can be used as a fuel in Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (DMFC) or transformed back into hydrogen using methanol electrolysis. However, methanol electrolysers have operational limits produced by problems related to active site blockage by the formation of adsorbed carbonaceous species, sluggish kinetics, or methanol crossover. While DMFCs present several still unsolved issues such as poor methanol oxidation reaction, fuel crossover or high demand of noble metal.

For the study of DMFC and methanol electrolysers and implement improvements in their design, a test bench that allows testing both devices independently has been designed and built.  It allows plotting polarization curves, analysing crossover and developing electrochemical impedance spectroscopy studies, as well as the control of operating temperature of the devices, the mass flow, pressure and temperature of the oxygen or nitrogen introduced in the DMFC and methanol flow rate. These features will become key factors for the development of technologies for improving the use of methanol as an energy vector.

PUBLICATION OPTIONS
HTML BlockAfter the conference, selected papers (by the reviewers) will be recommended for possible publication in special issues of some scientific journals (https://ecos2023.com/journal-publication). Note that they have to be reviewed based on journal regulations.
All registered and presented papers will be published in a Book of Proceedings. For this issue, two options are possible:
A. Book 1: Book of Proceedings with ISBN, but just as a pdf file, which will be made available to participants at the Conference. With option A your work will not be accessible on-line.
B. Book 2: Online Book of Proceedings, with the possibility of being indexed in SCOPUS, where each paper will have a doi.
We choose:Book 2 (on-line+SCOPUS)
