Fuel Cell Science and Engineering Materials, Processes, Systems and Technology

"Rechtzeitig zur Hannover Messe hat der Wiley-VCH Verlag das neue Buch von Prof. Dr. Detlef Stolten herausgebracht: Fuel Cell Science und Engineering. Nach Stoltens im Juli 2010 erschienenem Erstlingswerk Hydrogen und Fuel Cells - Fundamentals, Technologies und Applications (Hardcover, 880 S., 249 EUR) ist dies bereits sein zweites englisch-sprachiges Fachbuch zum Thema Wasserstoff und Brennstoffzelle. Auf 1.268 Seiten kommen in diesem zweibändigen Werk 50 ausgewiesene Experten aus aller Welt zu Wort und beleuchten das gesamte Brennstoffzellenspektrum. Das Handbuch betrachtet die verschiedenen Technologien, Materialien, Produktionsprozesse, Modellierungs- und Simulationsverfahren sowie wirtschaftliche, Umwelt- und Sicherheitsaspekte."

Prof. Detlef Stolten is the Director of the Institute of Energy Research - Fuel Cells at the Research Center Jülich, Germany. Prof Stolten received his doctorate from the University of Technology at Clausthal, Germany. He served many years as a Research Scientist in the laboratories of Robert Bosch and Daimler Benz/Dornier. Since 1998 he has been holding the position of Director at the Research Center Jülich. Two years later he became Professor for Fuel Cell Technology at the University of Technology (RWTH) at Aachen. Prof. Stolten's
research focuses on electrochemical energy engineering including electrochemistry and energy process engineering of Electrolysis, SOFC and PEFC systems, i.e. cell and stack technology, process and systems engineering as well as systems analysis. Prof. Stolten is Chairman of the Implementing Agreement Advanced Fuel Cells, member of the board of the International Association of Hydrogen Energy (IAHE) and
is on the advisory boards of the German National Organization of Hydrogen and Fuel Cells (NOW), and the journal Fuel Cells. He was chairman of the World Hydrogen Energy Conference 2010 (WHEC 2010).

Dr. Bernd Emonts is the Deputy Director of the Institute of Energy Research at the Jülich Research Center, Germany. He received his diploma in structural engineering from the Aachen University of Applied Sciences, Germany, in 1981. He went on to specialize in the fundamentals
of mechanical engineering at RWTH Aachen University, Germany and was awarded his PhD in 1989. Working as a scientist, Dr. Emonts
has been involved in extensive research and development projects in the areas of catalytic combustion and energy systems with low-temperature fuel cells. Between 1991 and 1994, he concurrently worked as an R & D advisor for a German industrial enterprise in the drying and coating technologies sector. In addition to his scientific activities at Jülich Research Center, Germany, Dr. Emonts lectured at Aachen University of Applied Sciences from 1999 to 2008. Dr. Emonts has published extensively in the field of Fuel Cells.

"For researchers who already have some history with fuel cells and want to maintain their knowledge of the general progress of fuel cell research this could be a useful addition to one's personal library. For those specifically interested in pgm catalysis for fuel cells, I would recommend the book "Catalysis in Electrochemistry: From Fundamentals to Strategies for Fuel Cell Development" (5)."
