Énergie Vol. 10: Fuel Cells et Batteries
Description
Fuel cells et batteries are electrochemical devices that convert le chemical energy de a fuel directly into electrical energy avec high efficiency et low environmental impact. Since both these devices convert chemical energy into electrical energy without combustion, they are not subjected to thermodynamic limitations de heat engines like Carnot efficiency et are, therefore, capable de achieving higher conversion efficiencies. In a fuel cell electricity is produced through a chemical reaction de fuel et oxygen/air supplied continuously from some external source, while a battery stores le chemical reactants en its structure itself. In essence, a fuel cell is refueled et a battery is recharged. Fuel cells have been recognized as le most promising future energy conversion technologies pour large et small stationary power plants et as le source de electricity pour vehicles et portable devices. Batteries also continue to improve from year to year avec increase en energy capacity, reliability et reusability et decrease en size, weight et cost. In view de their importance as an energy source, fuel cells et batteries have been discussed en a volume entirely devoted to them. Le volume 10 comprises a discussion sur following topics: • Fuel cell et battery technology • Micro solid oxide fuel cell as portable power sources • Microfluidic reversible fuel cell pour carbon-neutral energy conversion cycle • Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells • In situ EIS pour performance analysis de PEM fuel cells en automotive applications • Membrane electrode assemblies pour low temperature fuel cells • Non-platinum cathode catalysts pour fuel cells • Avancé materials et catalysts pour fuel cells • Nanometric catalysts pour oxygen-reduction reaction en fuel cells • Cost comparison de different fuel cell systems • Packed-bed reactors to generate hydrogen pour fuel-cell applications • Développements en secondary batteries • Metal oxides as electrodes en rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries • Deposition type single flow batteries pour large-scale energy storage • In situ static NMR as an analytical tool en battery materials studies • Power management optimization de fuel cell/Li-ion battery hybrid drive trains • Power trains pour gasoline-electric hybrid cars • Supercapacitors et other novel chemical power sources Le volume 10 contains 18 chapters from 51 researchers and/or academicians representing 13 nations, namely China, France, Germany, Inde, Iran, Italy, Lithuania, Portugal, Republic de Korea, Serbia, Taiwan, United States de America et Vietnam giving an overview de le various research activities being carried out en different parts de le world sur Fuel Cells et Batteries
