Springer Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry 40

This volume in the acclaimed series Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry starts with a dedication to the late Professor Brian Conway who for 50 years helped to guide this series to its current prominence. The book then covers a broad range of topics in Electrochemistry. From the Back Cover MODERN ASPECTS OF ELECTROCHEMISTRY No. 40 Edited by Ralph E. White University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC Topics in Number 40 include: Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cell bipolar plates, discussion of the difficulties associated with confronting bipolar plate development The use of graphs in electrochemical reaction networks with focus on analysis of variance (ANOVA) observation methods Nano-materials in lithium ion battery electrode design, presentation of a plasma-assisted method to create a carbon replica of an alumina template membrane Direct methanol fuel cells, extensive discussion and review of various types of fuel cells and advances made in the performance of DMFC’s since their inception Direct simulation of polymer electrolyte fuel cell catalyst layers, presentation of a systematic development of the direct numerical simulation   From reviews of previous volumes: "This long-standing series continues its tradition of offering high quality reviews of established and emerging subject areas, together with the less common aspects of electrochemical science … Deserves a place in electrochemistry libraries and should prove useful to electrochemists and related workers." -Chemistry and Industry "Continues the valuable service that has been rendered by the Modern Aspects series." - Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry "Will definitely be of much use to researchers in the field of electrochemistry… The editors of this well-produced volume deserve all appreciation for maintaining the excellent standard of the series." - Bulletin of Electrochemistry "Extremely well-referenced and very readable … Maintains the overall high standards of the series." - Journal of the American Chemical Society
