Description
John Wiley Materials For High Temperature Fuel Cells by San Ping Jiang
The world's ever–growing demand for power has created an urgent need for new efficient and sustainable sources of energy and electricity. Today's consumers of portable electronics also demand devices that not only deliver more power but are also environmentally friendly. Fuel cells are an important alternative energy source, with promise in military, commercial and industrial applications, for example power vehicles and portable devices. This book is a concise source of the most important and key materials and catalysts in high–temperature fuel cells with emphasis on the most important solid oxide fuel cells. Bringing together world leaders and experts in this field, this text provides a lucid description of the materials assessment of fuel cell technologies. With an emphasis on the technical development and applications of key materials in high–temperature fuel cells, this text covers fundamental principles, advancement, challenges, and important current research themes. Materials for High Temperature Fuel Cells is part of the series on Materials for Sustainable Energy and Development edited by Prof. Max Q. Lu. The series covers advances in materials science and innovation for renewable energy, clean use of fossil energy, and greenhouse gas mitigation and associated environmental technologies.
