Abstract: In a method of forming a conductive layer, a conductive layer formed using the method, an organic electroluminescent device including the conductive layer, and a method of manufacturing the organic electroluminescent device, the method of forming the conductive layer comprises: pre-treating a substrate in order to improve adhesive force; coating a mixture solution which contains a sulfonate-based catalyst and a solvent on the substrate, and then drying the coated product; and performing vapor-phase polymerization by contacting the substrate on which the catalyst is coated with monomers which make up a conductive polymer in a vapor phase. The conductive layer obtained using the method of forming a conductive layer has high conductivity, high transmittance with respect to light having a wavelength of 300 nm to 700 nm, uniform thickness, and thermal-chemical stability.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a direct methanol fuel cell having reduced methanol crossover, which comprises a layer of material for controlling the diffusion rate of fuel. More particularly, it relates to a direct methanol fuel cell in which the material for controlling the diffusion rate of fuel is interposed between an anode and a fuel reservoir or positioned within the fuel reservoir, and thus, the diffusion rate of methanol is reduced even when using high concentration methanol fuel, such that the injected methanol is completely reacted in a catalyst layer so as to fundamentally reduce unreacted methanol, thereby suppressing the methanol crossover phenomenon and exhibiting high power density. In the inventive direct methanol fuel cell, the diffusion rate of fuel is controlled using the fuel diffusion rate-controlling material so as to suppress the methanol crossover phenomenon, thereby increasing energy density and output density.
