✦ Synopsis

"Now that fuel cells are in commercial production<-->in the rest of the world if not in the US<-->one of the questions that remain is the long-term durability of fuel cell systems. Here researchers review the current understanding of the durability of polymer electrolyte fuel cells. Among their topics are the status and targets of durability, electrochemical degradation: electrocatalyst and support durability, gas diffusion media and their degradation, freeze damage, advanced high-resolution characterization techniques for degradation studies, and computational modeling aspects. Academic Press is an imprint of Elsevier."--Reference and Research Book News, October 2012
