The effect of anode current collector on the performance of passive direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) was investigated in this paper. The results revealed that the anode of passive DMFC with perforated current collector was poor at removing the produced CO2 bubbles that blocked the access of fuel to the active sites and thus degraded the cell performance. Moreover, the performances of the passive DMFCs with different parallel current collectors and different methanol concentrations at different temperatures were also tested and compared. The results indicated that the anode parallel current collector with a larger open ratio exhibited the best performance at higher temperatures and lower methanol solution concentrations due to enhanced mass transfer of methanol from the methanol solution reservoir to the gas diffusion layer. However, the passive DMFC with a smaller open ratio of the parallel current collector exhibited the best performance at lower temperatures and higher methanol solution concentrations due to the lower methanol crossover rate.
