PEM Fuel Cell Electrocatalysts and Catalyst Layers Fundamentals and Applications / edited by Jiujun Zhang.

Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells, including H2/O2 (air) and methanol/O2 (air) fuel cells, are promising clean energy converting devices with high efficiency and low to zero emissions. Such power sources can be used in transportation, stationary, portable, and micro power applications. The k...
