Nanostructured and Advanced Materials for Fuel Cells

The book discusses recent developments in nanostructured and advanced materials in fuel cells, including high-temperature solid oxide fuel cells, low-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells, and microbial fuel cells. It describes the relationship among the performance, activity, stability, and materials microstructure with respect to the fuel cell systems and applications and concludes each chapter with challenges presently faced and the outlook for future development. The book also describes the fundamental sciences involved in various fuel cell operations and the technological developments in material science and engineering for materials fabrication.
