A comprehensive survey of theoretical andexperimental conceptsin fuel cell chemistry
Fuel cell science is undergoing significant development, thanks,in part, to a spectacular evolution of the electrocatalysisconcepts, and both new theoretical and experimental methods.Responding to the need for a definitive guide to the field, FuelCell Science provides an up-to-date, comprehensive compendium ofboth theoretical and experimental aspects of the field.
Designed to inspire scientists to think about the future of fuelcell technology, Fuel Cell Science addresses the emerging field ofbio-electrocatalysis and the theory of heterogeneous reactions infuel cell science and proposes potential applications forelectrochemical energy production. The book is thorough in itscoverage of the electron transfer process and structure of theelectric double layer, as well as the development of operandomeasurements. Among other subjects, chapters describe:
* Recently developed strategies for the design, preparation, andcharacterization of catalytic materials for fuel cell electrodes,especially for new fuel cell cathodes
* A wide spectrum of theoretical and computational methods,with?the aim of?developing?new fuel cell catalysis concepts andimproving existing designs to increase their performance.?
Edited by two leading faculty, the book:
* Addresses the emerging fields of bio-electrocatalysis for fuelcells and theory of heterogeneous reactions for use in fuel cellcatalysis
* Provides a survey of experimental and theoretical concepts inthese new fields
* Shows the evolution of electrocatalysis concepts
* Describes the chemical physics of fuel cell reactions
* Forecasts future developments in electrochemical energyproduction and conversion
Written for electrochemists and electrochemistry graduatestudents, electrocatalysis researchers, surface and physicalchemists, chemical engineers, automotive engineers, and fuel celland energy-related researchers, this modern compendium can helptoday's best minds meet the challenges in fuel sciencetechnology.
