商品簡介
Protonic Ceramic Fuel Cells: Principles, Design, and Applications brings together the latest developments in terms of materials, design, fabrication techniques, and applications, providing the reader with a thorough inter-disciplinary understanding of this technology, as well as addressing challenges and identifying future opportunities. The book begins by introducing the basics of fuel cell systems, thermodynamics, Protonic Ceramic Fuel Cells, materials, and electrochemical reactions. This is followed by in-depth chapters that examine cell, stack and system level modelling, transport of charged particles, performance characterization techniques, degradation, system design and application, and stack manufacturing cost. A step-by-step approach is supported throughout with practical examples and case studies. A dedicated chapter focuses on applications, before further chapters explore future directions and research opportunities, environmental impact and sustainability, and safety and risk assessment. This is a useful resource for researchers, students, faculty, engineers, R&D, scientists, policy makers, and professionals with an interest in fuel cells, energy storage, renewable energy, or the broad energy sector; and from a range of disciplines, including energy, materials science, chemistry, physics, transportation, and engineering.
