Electrocatalysis for Membrane Fuel Cells Methods, Modelling, and Applications

Comprehensive resource covering hydrogen oxidation reaction, oxygen reduction reaction, classes of electrocatalytic materials, and characterization methods

Electrocatalysis for Fuel Cells focuses on all aspects of electrocatalysis for energy applications, covering perspectives as well as the low temperature fuel systems principles, with main emphasis on hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) and the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR).

Following an introduction to basic principles of electrochemistry for electrocatalysis with attention to the methods to obtain the parameters crucial to characterize these systems, Electrocatalysis for Fuel Cells covers sample topics such as:

• Electrocatalytic materials and electrode configurations, including precious versus non-precious metal centers, stability and the role of supports for catalytic nano-objects;
• Fundamentals on characterization techniques of materials and the various classes of electrocatalytic materials;
• Theoretical explanations of materials and systems using both Density Functional Theory (DFT) and molecular modeling;
• Principles and methods in the analysis of fuel cells systems, fuel cells integration and subsystem design.

Electrocatalysis for Fuel Cells quickly and efficiently introduces the field of electrochemistry, along with synthesis and testing in prototypes of materials, to researchers and professionals interested in renewable energy and electrocatalysis for chemical energy conversion.
