Product Description

The worlds ever-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.

Fuel Cell Technology: Reaching Towards Commercialization provides a one-volume survey of the state-of-the art research in fuel cells, with in-depth coverage of the two types of fuel cell most likely to become commercialized 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.

Fuel Cell Technology: Reaching Towards Commercialization is an essential reference for researchers, academics and industrialists interested in up-to-date information on fuel cell development.
