    About this ebook

    A fuel cell is an electrochemical device that converts the chemical energy of a reaction (between fuel and oxidant) directly into electricity. Given their efficiency and low emissions, fuel cells provide an important alternative to power produced from fossil fuels. A major challenge in their use is the need for better materials to make fuel cells cost-effective and more durable. This important book reviews developments in materials to fulfil the potential of fuel cells as a major power source.

    After introductory chapters on the key issues in fuel cell materials research, the book reviews the major types of fuel cell. These include alkaline fuel cells, polymer electrolyte fuel cells, direct methanol fuel cells, phosphoric acid fuel cells, molten carbonate fuel cells, solid oxide fuel cells and regenerative fuel cells. The book concludes with reviews of novel fuel cell materials, ways of analysing performance and issues affecting recyclability and life cycle assessment.

    With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, Materials for fuel cells is a valuable reference for all those researching, manufacturing and using fuel cells in such areas as automotive engineering.

      Hydrogen-powered Cars

      Nov 26, 2020

      There are two basic types of hydrogen cars: those that run on PEM (proton exchange membrane) fuel cells and those which burn hydrogen (H2 ) inside an internal combustion engine (ICE). All major car manufacturers have developed one or both of these ty

      Water-based Battery Stores Green Energy For Later

      May 1, 2018

      A new water-based battery could provide a cheap way to store wind or solar energy for later, researchers say. The battery stores energy generated when the sun is shining and wind is blowing so it can be fed back into the electric grid and redistribut
