Fuel Cell Catalysis A Surface Science Approach
A Core reference on fuel cell catalysis
Fuel cells represent an important alternative energy source anda very active area of research. Fuel Cell Catalysis brings togetherworld leaders in this field, providing a unique combination ofstate-of-the-art theory and computational and experimental methods.With an emphasis on understanding fuel cell catalysis at themolecular level, this text covers fundamental principles, futurechallenges, and important current research themes.
Fuel Cell Catalysis:
* Provides a molecular-level description of catalysis forlow-temperature polymer-electrolyte membrane fuel cells, includingboth hydrogen-oxygen cells and direct alcohol cells
* Examines catalysis issues of both anode and cathode such asoxygen reduction, alcohol oxidation, and CO tolerance
* Features a timely and forward-looking approach through emphasison novel aspects such as computation and bio-inspiration
* Reviews the use and potential of surface-sensitive techniqueslike vibrational spectroscopy (IR, Raman, nonlinear spectroscopy,laser), scanning tunneling microscopy, X-ray scattering, NMR,electrochemical techniques, and more
* Reviews the use and potential of such modern computationaltechniques as DFT, ab initio MD, kinetic Monte Carlo simulations,and more
* Surveys important trends in reactivity and structuresensitivity, nanoparticles, "dynamic" catalysis, electrocatalysisvs. gas-phase catalysis, new experimental techniques, andnontraditional catalysts
This cutting-edge collection offers a core reference forelectrochemists, electrocatalysis researchers, surface and physicalchemists, chemical and automotive engineers, and researchers inacademia, research institutes, and industry.
