The book provides a systematic and profound account of scientific
challenges in fuel cell research. The introductory chapters bring
readers up to date on the urgency and implications of the global
energy challenge, the prospects of electrochemical energy
conversion technologies, and the thermodynamic and electrochemical
principles underlying the operation of polymer electrolyte fuel
cells. The book then presents the scientific challenges in fuel
cell research as a systematic account of distinct components,
length scales, physicochemical processes, and scientific
disciplines. The main part of the book focuses on theory and
modeling. Theoretical tools and approaches, applied to fuel cell
research, are presented in a self-contained manner. Chapters are
arranged by different fuel cell materials and components, and
sections advance through the hierarchy of scales, starting from
molecular-level processes in proton-conducting media or
electrocatalytic systems and ending with performance issues at the
device level, including electrochemical performance, water
management, durability, and analysis of failure mechanisms.
Throughout, the book gives numerous examples of formidable
scientific challenges as well as of tools to facilitate materials
design and development of diagnostic methods. It reveals reserves
for performance improvements and uncovers misapprehensions in
scientific understanding that have misled or may continue to
mislead technological development. An indispensable resource for
scientifically minded and practically oriented researchers, this
book helps industry leaders to appreciate the contributions of
fundamental research, and leaders of fundamental research to
appreciate the needs of industry.
