Fuel Cell Science / The Wiley Series on Electrocatalysis and Electrochemistry (ePub)

A comprehensive survey of theoretical andexperimental concepts
in fuel cell chemistry

Fuel cell science is undergoing significant development, thanks,
in part, to a spectacular evolution of the electrocatalysis
concepts, and both new theoretical and experimental methods.
Responding to the need for a definitive guide to the field, Fuel
Cell Science provides an up-to-date, comprehensive compendium of
both theoretical and experimental aspects of the field.

Designed to inspire scientists to think about the future of fuel
cell technology, Fuel Cell Science addresses the emerging field of
bio-electrocatalysis and the theory of heterogeneous reactions in
fuel cell science and proposes potential applications for
electrochemical energy production. The book is thorough in its
coverage of the electron transfer process and structure of the
electric double layer, as well as the development of operando
measurements. Among other subjects, chapters describe:

* Recently developed strategies for the design, preparation, and
characterization 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 and
improving existing designs to increase their performance.?

Edited by two leading faculty, the book:

* Addresses the emerging fields of bio-electrocatalysis for fuel
cells and theory of heterogeneous reactions for use in fuel cell
catalysis

* Provides a survey of experimental and theoretical concepts in
these new fields

* Shows the evolution of electrocatalysis concepts

* Describes the chemical physics of fuel cell reactions

* Forecasts future developments in electrochemical energy
production and conversion

Written for electrochemists and electrochemistry graduate
students, electrocatalysis researchers, surface and physical
chemists, chemical engineers, automotive engineers, and fuel cell
and energy-related researchers, this modern compendium can help
today's best minds meet the challenges in fuel science
technology.
