| Sumario: | Entering a new era of sustainable energy generation and consumption, micro-fuel cells are showing great po-tential for providing high energy density to consumer electronics, and micro-reactor technology can indeed enable their integration by providing hydrogen on-demand from hydrocarbons. In this work, we present the design and fully scalable wafer-level fabrication of a MEMS-based catalytic micro-reactor tested in real-life operating conditions by means of a 3D printed ceramic housing. The device consists of an array of thousands of vertically aligned micro-channels, 500 µm in length and 50 µm in diameter, for an overall superficial area per unit volume of 120 cm2 cm |
