Abstract: MEMS based fuel cells have been proposed as replacements for batteries in distributed sensor networks, on chip power, and implantable devices.In this paper we will present the design and fabrication of new MEMS based fuel cells that show a factor of 4 higher power output than any MEMS based hydrogen/air fuel cell reported previously.Our approach is to base the fabrication on a single wafer compared to conventional two bonded wafers.Our hybrid microfabricated hydrogen fuel cell has an open cell voltage of 1.02V, a peak power density of 284 mW/cm 2 and fuel utilization rate close to 90%.
