The world's growing demand for power has created a need for new efficient and sustainable sources of energy and electricity. In recent years, fuel cells have become a highly-promising potential source of power for military, commercial and industrial uses.
This book provides a survey of state of the art research in fuel cells, with in-depth coverage of the two types of fuel cell most likely to become commercialised: the high-temperature solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and the low-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEM).
All aspects of SOFC and PEM technology are covered,

Produktbeschreibung
The world's growing demand for power has created a need for new efficient and sustainable sources of energy and electricity. In recent years, fuel cells have become a highly-promising potential source of power for military, commercial and industrial uses.

This book provides a survey of state of the art research in fuel cells, with in-depth coverage of the two types of fuel cell most likely to become commercialised: the high-temperature solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and the low-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEM).

All aspects of SOFC and PEM technology are covered, including:

- materials selection and analysis for fuel cells;

- fuel cell stack design and development;

- modeling and control of processes and systems;

- and reforming technology.

The book also signposts the emerging field of microbial fuel cells, the main alternative to SOFCs and PEMs.

It is an essential reference for researchers, academics and industrialists interested in up-to-date information on fuel cell development.
Fuel cells are a very promising technology for the clean and efficient production of power. Fuel Cell Technology is an up-to-date survey of the development of this technology and will be bought by researchers and graduate students in materials control and chemical engineering working at universities and institutions and researchers and technical managers in commercial companies working in fuel cell technology.
