The necessity for a better understanding of the basic processes
that determine the operation of fuel cells became evident during
the devel opment of practical units in the last three decades. The
search for efficient electrocatalysts in low-temperature fuel cells
intensified the general study of the nature and the role of the
electrode material. Re search on the complex mechanisms of the
anodic oxidation of different fuels and of the reduction of
molecular oxygen on solid electrodes was stimulated, and the strong
influence of adsorbed species on the electrode reaction in question
was investigated. Suitable electrolytes had to be found for the
high-temperature fuel cells. The use of electrodes with large
internal surface lead to the development of models of porous
electrode. structures and to the mathematical analysis of the
operation of these models under certain conditions. While the
chapters I to III introduce the reader to the general field offuel
cells, the progress made in the understanding of the basic problems
in the electrochemistry of fuel cells since the end of the second
world war is reviewed in chapters IV to XVI of this monograph. In
contrast, the technological aspects necessary for the development
of practical units are not covered here. The open literature
published as books or as papers in scientific journals has been
considered up to the time of the writing of the final draft of the
specific chapter, at least till the end of 1967."
