Fuel cells hold the promise of cleaner energy.
However, they have seemed to be 'just over the horizon' for quite some time.
Is a new dawn coming?
NEW "Fuel Cell Fundamentals, " by O'Hayre, Colella, Cha, & Prinz
(2nd ed) |
|
Part one of this book covers the
basics: thermodynamics, kinetics, and mass transport in fuel cells,
as well as fuel cell modeling and characterization. Twenty-five
pages are dedicated to the EIS of fuel cells.
This 2009 edition updates the
technology and engineering section of the book. This section deals
with system integration (thermal, fuel, and power systems) and
environmental impact.
The authors come with impressive
credentials: Prinz and O'Hayre are faculty members at Stanford and
the Colorado School of Mines, respectively.

"Fuel Cell Systems Explained" by Larminie & Dicks (2nd
ed)
|
|
The first edition of this book came out in 2000. This second
edition (2003) keeps pace with this fast changing field. This book
covers most of the main stream kinds of fuel cells in reasonable
detail. There is a good amount of scientific detail, with
references to the recent literature. It is a good introduction to
the field.
