Solid State Proton Conductors: Properties and Applications in Fuel Cells (Repost)

Proton conduction can be found in many different solid materials, from organic polymers at room temperature to inorganic oxides at high temperature. Solid state proton conductors are of central interest for many technological innovations, including hydrogen and humidity sensors, membranes for water electrolyzers and, most importantly, for high-efficiency electrochemical energy conversion in fuel cells. Focusing on fundamentals and physico-chemical properties of solid state proton conductors, topics covered include:Morphology and Structure of Solid Acids Diffusion in Solid Proton Conductors by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Structure and Diffusivity by Quasielastic Neutron Scattering Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy Mechanical and Dynamic Mechanical Analysis of Proton-Conducting Polymers Ab initio Modeling of Transport and Structure Perfluorinated Sulfonic Acids Proton-Conducting Aromatic Polymers Inorganic Solid Proton Conductors Uniquely combining both organic (polymeric) and inorganic proton conductors, Solid State Proton Conductors: Properties and Applications in Fuel Cells provides a complete treatment of research on proton-conducting materials.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction and Overview: Protons, the Nonconformist Ions (pages 1–4): Maria Luisa Di Vona and Philippe KnauthChapter 2 Morphology and Structure of Solid Acids (pages 5–24): Habib Ghobarkar, Philippe Knauth and Oliver SchafChapter 3 Diffusion in Solid Proton Conductors: Theoretical Aspects and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Analysis (pages 25–70): Maria Luisa Di Vona, Emanuela Sgreccia and Sebastiano TostoChapter 4 Structure and Diffusivity in Proton?Conducting Membranes Studied by Quasielastic Neutron Scattering (pages 71–108): Rolf HempelmannChapter 5 Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy: A Powerful Tool for the Determination of Charge Transfer Mechanisms in Ion Conductors (pages 109–183): Vito Di Noto, Guinevere A.
