Fuel Cells have become a potentially highly efficient
sustainable source of energy and electricity for an ever-demanding
power hungry world. The two main types of fuel cells ripe for
commercialisation are the high temperature solid oxide fuel cell
(SOFC) and the low temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel
cell (PEM). The commercial uses of which include, but are not
limited to, military, stand-by power, commercial and industrial,
and remoter power. However, all aspects of the electricity market
are being considered.
This book has brought together a team of world-renowned experts
in all aspects of fuel cell development for both SOFC and PEM in a
workshop environment. The workshop held between June 6-10, 2004 was
held in the capital city of the Ukraine, Kiev. The reason for the
venue was that Ukraine is the third largest resource of zircon
sands, a major source of material for the solid oxide fuel cell.
Ukraine is looking at undertaking a very large effort in the solid
oxide fuel cell arena, and hopes, one day, to be an international
player in this market, and this book is an outcome from the
workshop. The book focuses on the issues related to fuel cells,
particularly the state-of-the-art internationally, the issues that
were of particular interest for getting fuel cells fully
commercialized, and advances in fuel cell materials and technology.
The focus was on all types of fuel cells, but the emphasis was
particularly on solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), due to their
importance to the host country. The book is an essential reference
to researchers, academics and industrialists interested in
up-to-date information on SOFC and PEM development.
