Alkaline Fuel Cells: Fundamentals, Design, and Applications

Alkaline Fuel Cells: Fundamentals, Design, and Applications bridges the gap between fundamental knowledge and the practical skills needed to address real-world challenges in alkaline fuel cells. The book provides readers with the essential information needed to understand, design, and implement efficient low-temperature and high-temperature alkaline fuel cell systems. Sections introduce alkaline fuel cells, with a discussion on mass transport phenomena. Subsequent chapters delve into the mechanisms, classification, design, and challenges of alkaline hydrogen oxidation reaction catalysts and alkaline oxygen reduction reaction catalysts. The book also covers the synthesis, properties, and perspectives of anion exchange membranes for alkaline fuel cells. Further, it addresses cell design and stack engineering, performance testing and characterization techniques, and advanced theoretical modeling of alkaline fuel cells. It also explores liquid fuels and their applications in transportation and beyond. The book concludes with a global overview of market dynamics, the impact and future opportunities of government policies, and future perspectives.
