Popis: Recent years have marked a substantial increase in worldwide efforts to improve the design and manufacture of miniaturized low- and high-power polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) for diverse electronic applications, ranging from stationary backup power to mobile transportation and even as energy sources for a new generation of drone technology. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of current issues in the design, manufacturing, and development of low-temperature, high-energy H2/O2 fuel cell systems. Examples of PEMFC applications are cited, along with schematic layouts of the fuel cell system. This work compiles recent contributions by various research groups who have worked to address the performance and durability of H2/O2 or H2/air PEMFC prototypes.
