2. 11. Limiting processes in anion-exchange membrane fuel cells

   Author : Henrik Grimler; Göran Lindbergh; Rakel Wreland Lindström; Carina Lagergren; Marc Secanell; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; anion-exchange membrane fuel cell; hydrogen oxidation reaction; oxygen reduction reaction; water transport; physics-based modelling; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

   Abstract : Fuel cells allow for converting chemical energy stored in hydrogen into electrical energy, with only heat and water as by-products. In a sustainable energy society, hydrogen may play an important role due to its ability to act both as an energy carrier and as a valuable chemical in the process industry. READ MORE

5. 13. Requirement and Availability of Scarce Metals for Fuel-Cell and Battery Electric Vehicles

   Author : Ingrid Råde; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; metal requirement; sustainability; fuel cells; batteries; platinum; metal scarcity; resources; electric vehicles; metal availability; industrial ecology;

   Abstract : Battery and fuel-cell electric vehicles (EVs) are considered as a means to meet some of the environmental and resource challenges of todays road vehicle system. EVs have the potential for zero tailpipe emissions as well as an energy efficiency higher than internal combustion engine vehicles and they can be flexible concerning primary energy source.
