Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell Durability

Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell Durability edited by Felix N. Büchi, Minoru Inaba, Thomas J. Schmidt.

A major part of the competitiveness gap of polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) technology in automotive and stationary co-generation applications is due lack of durability. This book analyzes the relevant degradation processes in PEFC on the level of components, cells and stacks, and applications....
