Description:
This edited book brings together leading researchers discussing the recent trends and needs in micro and nano-engineering fuel cells, creating new engineering knowledge, and optimizing the system on a micro and nano-scale. The small scales discussed in this book are particularly important, because most of the underlying interactions governing the fuel cell performance occur at a scale from nanometers to microns; and some engineering tasks that cannot be accomplished in macro-scale are proven achievable in micro and nano-scales. The book can be categorized into two subject areas: theoretical foundation research and applications research.
