Direct Numerical Simulation of Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell Catalyst Layers

  • Chapter
Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry No. 40

Part of the book series: Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry ((MAOE,volume 40))

Abstract

Fuel cells, due to their high energy efficiency, zero pollution and low noise, are widely considered as the 21st century energy-conversion devices for mobile, stationary and portable power. Among the several types of fuel cells, polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) has emerged as the most promising power source for a wide range of applications.
