2. 1. Bringing fuel cells to reality and reality to fuel cells : A systems perspective on the use of fuel cells

   Author : Maria Saxe; Per Alvfors; Angelo Moreno; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Assessment; CUTE; Demonstration projects; Emerging technology; Evaluation; Fuel cell buses; Fuel cell systems; Fuel cells; Hype; Interdisciplinary; Niche markets; PEM; Radical technologies; SOFC; Strategic niche markets; Sustainability; Chemical energy engineering; Kemisk energiteknik;

   Abstract : With growing awareness of global warming and fear of political instability caused by oil depletion, the need for a society with a sustainable energy system has been brought to the fore. A promising technology often mentioned as a key component in such a system is the fuel cell technology, i.e. READ MORE

4. 2. On direct hydrogen fuel cell vehicles : modelling and demonstration

   Author : Kristina Haraldsson; Per Alvfors; Dougal J. Nelson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Chemical engineering; direct hydrogen; Proton Exchange Membrane; PEM; fuel cell; fuel cell vehicle; fuel cell hybrid vehicles; on-board hydrogen storage; Kemiteknik; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik;

   Abstract : In this thesis, direct hydrogen Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell systems in vehicles are investigated through modelling, field tests and public acceptance surveys. A computer model of a 50 kW PEM fuel cell system was developed. The fuel cell system efficiency is approximately 50% between 10 and 45% of the rated power. READ MORE

5. 3. Analysis of PEM Fuel Cell Stacks and Systems with Water/Thermal Balances

   Author : Takamasa Ito; Värmeöverföring; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Thermal engineering; applied thermodynamics; Termisk teknik; termodynamik; PEM Fuel Cell Systems ; Water Thermal Balances ; Heat Exchangers ; PEM Fuel Cell Stacks ;

   Abstract : The Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell has been investigated for a long time, and is regarded as a new energy source for various applications, such as portable, stationary and automotive ones. However, due to the shortage of the infrastructure in the society, the high cost, the difficulty of the water/thermal management, etc. READ MORE

6. 4. Structure, interactions and functionality in novel electrolyte materials for fuel cell applications

   Author : Anna Martinelli; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; proton conductivity; ionic liquids; Polymer electrolyte membrane PEM ; fuel cell; vibrational spectroscopy;

   Abstract : It is today well known that fossil fuels will sooner or later be depleted, and the need to find alternative energy sources is now accepted. Among the diverse technologies developed to produce energy, considerable interest is currently directed to the hydrogen fuel cell, a device that converts chemical into electrical energy, is versatile and has a low environmental impact.

7. 5. Microphase Separated Cation Conducting Polymers : Design, Synthesis, and Properties

   Author : Hannes Nederstedt; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polymer; Litiumbatteri; Mikrofasseparering; Bränslceller; Elektrolyt; Polymerelektrolyt; Polymera bränslecellsmembran; Polymer electrolyte fuel cells; Polymer electrolyte; Polymer electrolyte membrane; Microphase separation; Lithium battery; Polymer; Fuel cell; Proton exchange membrane PEM ;

   Abstract : This thesis describes the synthesis and properties of five different cation conducting polymer systems. These systems were designed so that the polymers would be able to microphase separate into distinct phases with one phase for mechanical strength and one for ionic conductivity. READ MORE
