Wiley Series on Electrocatalysis and Electrochemistry
Fuel Cell Catalysis A Surface Science Approach
A Core reference on fuel cell catalysis
Fuel cells represent an important alternative energy source and
a very active area of research. Fuel Cell Catalysis brings together
world leaders in this field, providing a unique combination of
state-of-the-art theory and computational and experimental methods.
With an emphasis on understanding fuel cell catalysis at the
molecular level, this text covers fundamental principles, future
challenges, and important current research themes.
Fuel Cell Catalysis:
* Provides a molecular-level description of catalysis for
low-temperature polymer-electrolyte membrane fuel cells, including
both hydrogen-oxygen cells and direct alcohol cells
* Examines catalysis issues of both anode and cathode such as
oxygen reduction, alcohol oxidation, and CO tolerance
* Features a timely and forward-looking approach through emphasis
on novel aspects such as computation and bio-inspiration
* Reviews the use and potential of surface-sensitive techniques
like vibrational spectroscopy (IR, Raman, nonlinear spectroscopy,
laser), scanning tunneling microscopy, X-ray scattering, NMR,
electrochemical techniques, and more
* Reviews the use and potential of such modern computational
techniques as DFT, ab initio MD, kinetic Monte Carlo simulations,
and more
* Surveys important trends in reactivity and structure
sensitivity, nanoparticles, ‘dynamic’ catalysis, electrocatalysis
vs. gas-phase catalysis, new experimental techniques, and
nontraditional catalysts
This cutting-edge collection offers a core reference for
electrochemists, electrocatalysis researchers, surface and physical
chemists, chemical and automotive engineers, and researchers in
academia, research institutes, and industry.
