Anion Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells and Water Electrolyzers is a comprehensive guide that addresses the urgent need for sustainable and efficient energy storage solutions in the era of renewable energy. This book delves into the complexities of water electrolysis, a well-known technique to produce hydrogen, and discusses the limitations of traditional alkaline water electrolysis (AWE) and proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) technologies. Introducing anion exchange membrane (AEM) water electrolysis technology as a promising solution that combines the advantages of AWE and PEMWE, this book provides a comprehensive coverage of system-level fundamentals of AEM fuel cells and water electrolysis and offers a detailed exploration of the challenges and potential of these technologies.

The first chapters introduce the basics of AEM fuel cells and electrolyzers and then delve into the electrochemistry behind AEM based devices and their operation and water management. The book further explores the role of electrocatalysts in oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions, the use of anion exchange polymer films and ionomers, and the importance of porous transport and gas diffusion layer materials. It also discusses the design of bipolar plates and provides advanced characterization and diagnostic tools for AEM fuel cell and electrolyzers. The final chapters focus on AEM fuel cell and water electrolyzer stack design and the fundamentals of AEM CO2 electrolysis.

Anion Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells and Water Electrolyzers is an invaluable resource for graduate students, researchers, and industry practitioners involved in AEM technology or working more broadly in electrochemistry, electrocatalysis, electrochemical energy storage and conversion, or electrochemical engineering.

Noor Ul Hassan is currently a postdoctoral researcher at Chemistry and Nanoscience Centre - National Renewable Energy Laboratory working with Dr. Bryan Pivovar. His research in the Hydrogen and Fuel Cells group is to explore science behind anion exchange membrane fuel cells and water electrolyzers specifically focusing on improving the performance and durability of such systems. He received his doctorate in chemical engineering at the University of South Carolina, Columbia with Professor William E Mustain, where he investigated various component level aspects of fuel cell and water electrolyzer systems such as electrode engineering / optimization, ionomeric binders, catalyst ink rheology, and porous transport layers. William Mustain is a Professor at the Chemical Engineering department of the University of South Carolina. His research group called Mustain Laboratory for Electrocatalysts and Fuels (m∙leaf) deals with the design, characterization and implementation of electroactive materials in electrochemical systems. They use a wide variety of electrochemical and characterization techniques to explore chemistry-property and structure-property relationships, which allow them to propose next generation materials with a high level of success. In addition, these relationships help to advance the fundamental understanding of electrochemical processes and they use that knowledge to develop critical components of the 21st century energy portfolio - including batteries, fuel cells, electrolyzers, reactors for electrochemical synthesis, and systems for CO2 separation and utilization. Melissa Kreider is currently a postdoctoral researcher at NREL's Chemistry and Nanoscience Center. Her research in the Hydrogen and Fuel Cells group focuses on improving the performance and durability of anion exchange membrane water electrolyzers for green hydrogen production. She received her bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2016. She then did her doctorate in chemical engineering at Stanford University with Professor Thomas Jaramillo, where she developed non-precious metal fuel cell electrocatalysts and investigated catalyst material changes and degradation during reaction using in situ X-ray techniques and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry.
