Fuel cells are an important enabling technology for the hydrogen economy and have the potential to revolutionize the way we power our world. This book examines the issues and progress on key materials for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). It reviews these materials in terms of properties and functions in fuel cells.
Fuel cells are an important enabling technology for the hydrogen economy and have the potential to revolutionize the way we power our world. However, many challenges must be overcome before fuel cell systems become a competitive alternative for consumers.
Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells: Materials, Properties, and Performance examines the issues and recent progress on key materials for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) in light of performance, durability, and cost. The text reviews these materials in terms of properties and functions in fuel cells, such as temperature limits, catalytic activity, catalyst poisoning, protonic conductivities, chemical stability, degradation, microstructure, and processing.
