Direct Liquid Fuel Cells: Fundamentals, Advances and Technical Roadmaps for Future

Direct Liquid Fuel Cells is a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals and specificities of the use of methanol, ethanol, glycerol, formic acid, sodium borohydride and other promising liquid fuels in fuel cells. Each of its chapter covers a different liquid fuel-based fuel cell technology in two basic parts: liquid fuel and fuel cell technology. In the fuel part, data and information about the basic properties, availability and advantages of the fuel is explained. In this part, also the conventional production methods and alternative research for cost reduction of the fuel will be examined. Presents information on different types of direct liquid fuel cells in a structured way that allows for direct comparison of available technology in terms of efficiency, feasibility, safety, fuel storage and handlingExplores novel single cell and stack designs, and includes information on inorganic fuels, such as ammonia and hydrazineCovers detailed aspects related to each fuel, including steps and mechanisms of oxidation reactions, choices of polymer electrolyte membranes according to each different fuel, and methods for the crossover of specific liquid fuels INDICE: 1.
