Electrocatalysts for Low Temperature Fuel Cells : Fundamentals and Recent Trends.
Meeting the need for a text on solutions to conditions which have so far been a drawback for this important and trend-setting technology, this monograph places special emphasis on novel, alternative catalysts of low temperature fuel cells. Comprehensive in its coverage, the text discusses not only t...
