| Materials for the Hydrogen Economy describes the technical challenges and the current efforts in developing materials possessing the properties required for handling each stage of the hydrogen fuel chain. This book covers all seven of the current hydrogen production methods, as well as distribution, storage, and utilization technologies-fuel cells in particular. Thorough coverage includes chemical reactions, commercial equipment, and other aspects of separating, sealing, and purifying hydrogen; hydrogen's effects on pipeline steels and other storage and transportation vessels; and hydrogen permeation barriers and hydrides for on-board hydrogen storage. The final chapters focus on electrolytes and component materials for solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and H2/O2 PEM fuel cells. |
