This book covers the essentials of theory, with a focus on providing tools and techniques engineers can use during the design process. This is a balance that can only be achieved by the author's extensive industry experience and credentials. --Chuck Carlstrom, R & D Director, Lydall, Manchester, Connecticut, USA; Former Director of Stack Development at Plug Power, Latham, New York, USA This book is written by a scientist with broad knowledge of PEM fuel cells, ranging from the fundamental chemistry to commercial development and applications. ...Its unique insider's perspective displays an intimate knowledge of PEM fuel cell systems, testing methods, and commercial requirements. --Professor Peter G. Pickup, Department of Chemistry, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's, Canada ...this book apparently helps not only newcomers but also experts for their technology review. --Dr. Fumio Ueno, Chairman of IEC Technical Committee 105: Fuel Cell Technologies; Technology Executive, Micro Fuel Cell Display Devices & Components Control Center, Toshiba, Tokyo, Japan The author combines a clear and thorough understanding of the theoretical foundations of fuel cells with a sound application of these to the practical considerations and challenges of designing and operating fuel cell systems for a variety of applications. --Dr. John F. Elter, President of Sustainable Systems LLC, Albany, New York, USA; Former Vice-President and CTO at Plug Power, Latham, New York, USA ...it is a good reference for all levels of fuel cell developers. ...The analysis on key issues for PEMFC applications is in-depth and thorough. --Dr. Hao Tang, Chief Scientist, R&D Director, Alternative Energy Institute, China Eastern Electric Corp., Sichuan, China It provides information useful to beginners and experienced researchers alike. ...It is a more comprehensive book [than] I have ever seen. --Professor Pucheng Pei, Director, Institute of Automotive Power, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China
