#589 - Fuel Cell Technology and Systems (20022)
No other energy generation technology offers the combination of benefits that fuel cells do. In addition to low or zero emissions, benefits include high efficiency and multi-fuel capability. In this session, we invite submission of papers describing development of novel catalysts and catalytic systems that lead to improving performance and durability of fuel cell technology.
