Opis

Rapid advances in fuel cell system development have left the latest information scattered throughout the literature. The even faster race toward fuel cell commercialization further leaves the objectivity of many Internet articles open to question. Selecting and compiling the most important articles up to its publication, the Fuel Cell Technology Handbook provides one of the first comprehensive treatments of the technical and commercial aspects of high- and low-temperature fuel cells, fuel cell systems and catalysis, and fuel generation. It forms an authoritative basis for understanding fuel cell technology, applications, and commercial realities.

Recenzje

"This is an excellent primer for any technical professional or student interested in or getting involved in fuel cell technology. The authors were well chosen for their knowledge and practical experience, and in every chapter technical information is presented logically and clearly. Especially valuable are the generous offering of related Web sites and lengthy and inclusive lists of chapter-end references...This well-written and informative reference work provides much information on the theory, operation, and comparative performance of the many fuel cell types...Summing Up: Highly recommended"
