Abstract

Dye molecules were suggested as a sensitive element for an optical sensor of parameters determining the efficiency of a fuel cell with a proton-exchange membrane, in which a water-methanol mixture is used as a fuel. The sensitivity of representatives of three different types of dyes to the concentrations of protons and methanol was examined.
