Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This is a great book for people who are interested in learning how fuel cells work from electrochemical, polymer physics, and transport perspectives. The authors have organized these areas in an integrated way and with a balance between science and design. ... Overall, this is a nice reference book that I would recommend for students, engineers, and researchers in the field."

"The presented material clearly distinguishes itself from the common engineering focus of many other fuel cell books. It is unique in its scientific approach and provides rigorous scientific explanations and insight into the functionality of fuel cells. ... I like the fact that the authors focus on the two key domains of PEM fuel cells, namely membranes and catalyst layers, where major challenges in materials science remain. It...fills a critical gap in the fuel cell literature. ... In fact, [chapter one] provides the best overview of PEM fuel cell concepts that I have seen in any book. I would expect that this chapter alone will be cited by other researchers many times in the future. ... This book belongs on the shelf of everyone seriously interested in the scientific concepts of PEM fuel cells. It stands out as a rigorous and comprehensive discussion of the functionality of polymer electrolyte membranes and catalyst layers. It provides an excellent overview of modelling approaches regarding membranes and catalyst layers."

"The book does an excellent job of developing understanding from basic principles to the more complicated aspects of fuel science. This book will have utility for those just starting out in the field or those that are already immersed in the science of fuel cells."
