Although this type of electrochemical system was discovered a long time ago, only in recent years has global energy awareness, together with newly developed materials and available technologies, made such key advances in relation to fuel cell potential and its deployment. It is now unquestionable that fuel cells are recognized, alongside their possibility to work in the reverse mode, as the hub of the new energy deal. Now the questions are, why are they not yet ready to be used, despite the strong economic support given from the society? What prevents them from being entered into the hydrogen energy scenario in which renewable sources will provide energy when it is not readily available? How much are researchers involved in this urgent step towards change? This book gives a clear answer, engaging with some of the open issues that explain the delay of fuel cell deployment and, at the same time, it opens a window that shows how wide and attractive the opportunities offered by this technology are. Papers collected here are not only specialist-oriented but also offer a clear landscape to curious readers and show how challenging the road to the future is.Research & information: generalbicsscTechnology: general issuesbicssc2D local controlactivation energyactive site degradationalkaline water electrolysisanodic overpotentialBSCFcell design optimizationCFDCH4 internal reformingconcentration polarizationcontaminationcyclic current profilediamond anvil celldoped ceriaequation of statefuel cell applicationglass-ceramichigh pressure X-ray powder diffractionhydrogen consumption scenarioshydrogen productionimpedance spectroscopyionic conductivityIT-SOFCjoininglow-cost ceramicsmembranemercury intrusionmicrobial fuel cellmicrofluidic fuel cellmodified fuel utilizationOhmic resistanceopen circuit voltageoxygen starvationPEM fuel cellpolymer electrolyte fuel cellpore sizeporositypowder x-ray diffractionpowder X-ray diffractionpower densitypower supplypressure dropraman spectroscopyRaman spectroscopyreliabilityRietveld refinementrSOCsaltsealantsseparatorSm-doped ceriaSOECSOFCsoft drinkssolid oxide fuel cellsolid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs)solid oxides fuel cellstape casting processtransient behaviortwo-phase processtwo-phases flowuseful waterwater absorptionResearch & information: generalTechnology: general issuesViviani Massimoedt1311919Barbucci AntonioedtCarpanese Maria PaolaedtPresto SabrinaedtViviani MassimoothBarbucci AntonioothCarpanese Maria PaolaothPresto SabrinaothBOOK9910557389803321Advanced Materials and Technologies for Fuel Cells3030560UNINA
