Solid State Chemistry for Next Generation Energy Storage and Conversion Technologies

越来越需要确定具有成本效益的可持续和环境友好的替代能源。电化学能量转换和存储装置，例如燃料电池和蓄电池，代表了用于广泛的能量需求的清洁替代能源，包括便携式电子设备、运输、峰值功率需求和电网规模应用。燃料电池是一种电化学电池，其从外部燃料供应（例如氢、天然气、煤或生物气）与氧化剂之间的电化学氧化还原反应直接以非常高的效率产生电力。以氢为动力的燃料电池将产生直流电、热量和水，而不会排放传统污染物或温室气体。虽然烃动力燃料电池，如固体氧化物燃料电池（SOFC），产生CO

There is a growing need to identify cost effective alternative energy resources that are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices, such as fuel cells and batteries, represent a clean alternative energy source for a broad range of energy needs, including portable electronics, transportation, peak-power demand, and grid-scale applications. A fuel cell is an electrochemical cell that directly produces electricity from an electrochemical redox reaction between an external fuel supply, such as hydrogen, natural gas, coal, or biogas, and an oxidant, with very high efficiency. A fuel cell running on hydrogen will produce direct current, heat, and water without emitting conventional pollutants or greenhouse gases. Though hydrocarbon-powered fuel cells, such as solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), produce CO
