The book covers fundamental ORR reaction kinetics theories, tools, and techniques. It also explains the nano electrocatalysts for ORR made of noble, non-noble, and nanocarbon materials. Finally, the book explores the applications of PEM fuel cells and metal-air batteries.
Author Biography
Dr. Omar Solorza Feria is a Distinguished Professor of Electrochemistry at CINVESTAV-IPN's Chemistry Department. His research interests include the synthesis and characterization of nanocatalysts manufactured in liquid solvents at low temperatures for oxygen reduction reaction in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. His team developed "Sicarú" an indigence hydrogen fuel electric vehicle that is a trademark registered in IMPI Mexico. He is a specialist in the hydrogen and fuel cell field. He has received various awards and has registered five Mexican patents and three Mexican industrial designs granted by IMPI Mexico.
Dr. Sathish-Kumar Kamaraj is a Senior Research Professor Titular C in Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN)-Centro de Investigación en Ciencia Aplicada y Tecnología Avanzada, Unidad Altamira, México. The main thrust of his research lies in the deployment of nanostructured materials and biocatalysts, such as microbes, algae and plants, for sustainable biological energy conversion systems. His research team has developed various working prototypes of plant and microbial fuel cells to power the LED, digital clock, and sensors. He has served as a guest editor in journals and as an editor in various books. He has registered three Mexican patents and three technology transfers to the industries.
