Micro fuel cells have drawn increasing attention because they are promising choice of next generation power sources for portable electronic devices. Several problems, such as poor micro-machinability of graphite, corrodibility and high density of metal, rise when the conventional materials such as graphite and metal applied in micro fuel cells. The application of silicon material in micro fuel cells is becoming popular, because of its low gas permeability, high thermal conductivity, good property for micro processing. The application of silicon material in fabrication of gas diffusion layer and proton exchange membrane of micro fuel cells is introduced. Packaging technique of micro fuel cell based on silicon material is reviewed. The analysis and discussion of distinguishing feature and long-term potential of the application of silicon in micro fuel cells are conducted.

1 Gas diffusion layer
2 Proton exchange membrane
3 Micro fuel cell with silicon base
4 Other application of silicon
5 Disadvantages and prospects of silicon
6 Conclusions

Key words: micro fuel cells, proton exchange membranes, silicon
