PolyFuel, Inc.

Company Profile :

PolyFuel is the world leader in portable fuel cell membrane technology. With the increasing trend to mobility in electronics and consumer devices, portable fuel cells offer the promise of longer run times, lighter weight, and increased user convenience over the best-available battery technology.

The heart of the portable fuel cell is its membrane, a sophisticated material that allows water and methanol - the fuel of choice for such applications - to combine to generate electricity. The efficiency of a fuel cell, and thus its run time, is almost entirely dependent upon the characteristics of this membrane. As a result of over 140 combined years of fuel cell experience, and fundamental patent applications in over 15 different patent families, PolyFuel has developed a succession of direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) membranes that allow portable fuel cells to be smaller, lighter, quieter, less expensive and more robust than systems made with competing membrane materials.

PolyFuel was spun out of SRI International (formerly Stanford Research Institute) in 1999, after 14 years of applied membrane research. The company is based in Mountain View, California, and is privately held. Investors include Mayfield, Ventures West, Technology Partners, Intel Capital, and Chrysalix Energy.
