Polymer electrolyte membrane and direct methanol fuel cell technology v. 2 In situ characterisation techniques for low temperature fuel cells

This two volume set reviews the fundamentals, performance, and in situ characterisation of PEMFCs and DMFCs. Volume 2 details in situ characterisation, including experimental and innovative techniques, used to understand fuel cell operational issues and materials performance. Part one reviews enhanced techniques for characterisation of catalyst activities and processes, such as X-ray absorption and scattering, advanced microscopy and electrochemical mass spectrometry. Part two reviews characterisation techniques for water and fuel management, including neutron radiography and tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and Raman spectroscopy. Finally, Part III focuses on locally resolved characterisation methods, from transient techniques and electrochemical microscopy, to laser-optical methods and synchrotron radiography.
