本研究成功研發出一低溫高效能微型甲醇反應器-具矽奈米線結構完全填滿於微流道高度作為POM(Partial Oxidation of Methanol)反應觸媒載體者，更適合作為質子交換膜燃料(Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel cell, PEMFC) 電池前端氫氣供應器，因其可有效提升較低溫操作時之氫氣產率，有利燃料處理器(約180℃~250℃操作，傳統較常使用之SRM反應甲醇反應器操作溫度約>320℃)與較低溫操作(~80℃)之質子交換膜燃料電池結合使用，作為攜帶式3C產品電力。研究中微型甲醇反應器效能提升主要是藉由(1)矽奈米線結構導入微米流道提供大反應面積，(2)硬膜光阻製程發展增進觸媒塗佈均勻性，(3)奈米線結構設計為完全填滿於微流道高度迫使反應氣體與觸媒碰撞發生催化反應，
(4)根據探討觸媒中各成份對觸媒塗佈形貌影響調整觸媒溶液配置，將250℃之氫氣產率由原先3.9*10-8 mole/min提升至1.5*10-6 mole/min，增加了38倍；而較低溫之180℃反應氫氣產率也由2.8*10-8 mole/min提升至8.8*10-7 mole/min，增加了31倍，朝其作為質子交換膜燃料電池之供氫系統使用邁進了一大步。

In this paper, we proposed a new design of a high performance methanol micro-reformer for hydrogen production which integrated low temperature catalysts supported by silicon nano-wires inside micro-channels with multi-inlet and in-parallel channel. Without complicated fabrication process, the reforming performance of micro-reformer with Si nano-wire fully filled channel-passageways in height and length compared to that without nano-wires supported can enhanced by 38 folds more hydrogen yield；and the hydrogen yield at 180 oC and 250 oC are 8.8×10-7 mole/min and 1.5×10-6 mole/min, respectively. The enhancement of this new design micro-reformer was attributed to (1) the large surface area that the Si nano-wires can provided，(2) hard membrane photoresist process which assisted in better catalytic coating morphology，(3) the special design of Si nano-wires fully filled channel-passageways in height and length was expected to be able to force reactive-gases contact with catalysts，(4) the detailed discussions of how the different ingredients in catalysts
solution influence the catalytic coating morphology。
