| Abstract | "This volume focuses on the comprehensive discussion on the recent development towards the search of an alternative polymer electrolyte membrane, the associated challenges and remedies to overcome the underlined practical issues. It critically assesses the merits and demerits of different PEM materials and gives a perspective about where these materials stand with respect to the standard commercial PEM. It covers polymer electrolyte membranes, selection of membrane material, structural chemistry aspect, and recent development of the PEM fuel cells. Provides a complete insight into polymer electrolyte membranes for low-temperature fuel cells, emphasizing material selection and performance evaluation. Includes comprehensive overview of the membrane types and the associated mechanism of proton conduction. Discusses the characterization of pertinent materials and device performance in detail. Reviews thermal and fluid management, transport phenomenon, degradation mechanisms, fouling and pore blocking, and tailor-made materials. Contains diagrammatic representation and tabular comparison in support of discussion for better understanding about the content. This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in membrane technology, fuel cells, and chemical engineering"-- Provided by publisher. |
