Status and development of PEM fuel cell technology

Fuel cells are an emerging technology with applications in transportation, stationary and portable power generation, with outputs ranging from mW to MW. The most promising and most widely researched, developed and demonstrated type of fuel cells is proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell. State of the art in PEM fuel cell technology and challenges in their development and widespread applications are discussed. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
