This study proposes a portable mobile power supply with a self-breathing micro-proton exchange membrane fuel cells (µPEMFCs) stack as the core for the application of µPEMFCs in portable charging power supplies. A porous silicon membrane etched with hydrofluoric acid was used to conduct protons. A se...
