520    "Fuel cells supply electricity by converting fuels via 
       electrochemical reactions. The energy conversion process 
       is highly efficient. The process is also clean as it 
       produces no or low emission depending on the fuel used. 
       There is a high potential that fuel cells can replace 
       conventional batteries to achieve a higher environmental 
       performance. However, in spite of the attractive system 
       efficiencies and environmental benefits associated with 
       fuel-cell technology, it has proven to be difficult to 
       develop the scientific concepts into commercially viable 
       industrial products. These problems have often come from 
       both scientific and engineering issues. This edited book 
       brings together leading researchers in various fields of 
       engineering science from all over the world discussing the
       recent trends and needs on micro & nano-engineering of 
       fuel cells, creating new engineering knowledge and 
       optimizing the system on a micro and nano-scale. The small
       scales discussed in this book are particularly important, 
       because (1) most of the underlying interactions governing 
       the fuel cell performance occur at a scale from nanometers
       to microns; and (2) some engineering tasks that cannot be 
       accomplished in macro-scale are proven achievable in micro
       and nano-scales. The book can be categorized into two 
       subject areas: theoretical foundation research and 
       applications research. The latest progress in the 
       engineering science for electrolyte, electrode materials 
       and whole-cell design are covered"--|cProvided by
