The 3rd annual meeting in The Knowledge Foundation¿s Fuel Cells Durability & Performance series will provide an interdisciplinary discussion forum for fuel cell developers, manufacturers and suppliers working in the fields of fuel cells materials, stacks, system design, fabrication, and testing. The objectives of this meeting are: to discuss the latest innovations and emerging durability and performance issues common for all fuel cell systems, and specific to different types, designs, and sizes of fuel cells; to bring the attention of the testing systems, standards, and regulations development community to the current hurdles preventing fuel cells systems from large scale commercialization

This book provides an interdisciplinary review of the fundamental factors affecting Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEM FC) performance, components/stacks/system durability, cost and implementation. The book emphasizes the latest efforts toward overcoming technical and engineering barriers to commercialization of stationary, automotive and portable PEM FC and related hydrogen infrastructure technologies.
