A study has been carried-out on proton exchange membrane fuel cell
(PEMFC) by using a new chemical coupling 2-propanol/acetone/hydrogen
that will support solar power generation. The paper presents results
of the study made on the power density from PEMFC based on the new
chemical coupling proposed to be used in solar power generation. Some
investigations have been performed on electro-catalyst in the PEMFC
and power density 
has been achieved with hydrogen flow rate
at 15ml/M and liquid oxidant flow rate at 0.74ml/M. The PEMFC will
have its future scope in the solar energy field for power generation
as it is considered to be highly efficient energy conversion systems
and will reduce solar power operating temperature to less than
100°C.
