Fuel Cells (eBook, PDF)

From Fundamentals to Applications

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This concise sourcebook of the electrochemical, engineering and economic principles involved in the development and commercialization of fuel cells offers a thorough review of applications and techno-economic assessment of fuel cell technologies, plus in-depth discussion of conventional and novel approaches for generating energy. Parts I and II explain basic and applied electrochemistry relevant to an understanding of fuel cells, including the electrode kinetics and electrocatalysis of charge-transfer reactions, along with and experimental techniques pertinent to fuel cell research and development. Part III covers engineering and technology aspects, including discussion of fuels, fuel processing and fuel storage, transmission, and distribution. Part IV addresses applications and economics. The book is useful for undergraduate and graduate students and scientists interested in fuel cells. Unlike any other current book on fuel cells, each chapter includes problems based on the discussions in the text.

Rezensionen

From the reviews: "The present book has been written by an expert recognized by everybody in the special field of fuel cells as well as in electrochemistry in general. ... All chapters end with suggestions for further reading, a list of cited references, and some problems. ... The book has been carefully prepared and produced. ... Its price is adequate and puts it within reach of both libraries and researchers. It can be recommended wholeheartedly." (Rudolf Holze, Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry, Vol. 11 (12), 2007)
