Wolf Vielstich started research work on Fuel Fells and
Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis at Ruhrchemie / Oberhausen. Working in
the field of Fundamental and Applied Electrochemistry at the
Institute of Physical Chemistry of Bonn University, he completed
his Habilitation in Physical Chemistry in 1962. From 1965 he was a
professor and director at the Bonn Institute. His special interest
was new experimental methods like Rotating Ring Electrodes, online
MS, Insitu IR and UHV-analysis of electrode surfaces, as well as to
Batteries and Fuel Cells. His work in Electrochemistry has resulted
in more than 250 publications, over 10 patents, books on Fuel Cells
and Electrochemical Kinetics, and textbooks on Electrochemistry.
From 1986 to 1993, Professor Vielstich was co-ordinator of the
first European project on the DMFC and in 1998 he received the
Faraday Medal of the Royal Chemical Society, UK.
Arnold Lamm has been involved in industrial research in this field
for over 7 years, firstly at the DaimlerBenz research centre in
Ulm, Germany, where his projects included methanol-reforming,
methanolcatalysis, reactor engineering, thermodynamic calculations
and system engineering of PEMFC-systems based on methanol. He also
worked on the development of a simulation program as a basis for
the first methanol-reformer car Necar III. He also worked as
Project leader (PEMFC-power station) at the former AEG
Energietechnik T&D, Frankfurt, Germany in a project with
Ballard Generation Systems. Since 1997 Dr Lamm has been Senior
manager for fuel cell systems at the central research of
DaimlerChrysler, where his work has included a the demonstration of
the worldwide first DMFC-vehicle, development of gasoline/diesel
fuel processors for stationary and mobile applications and
development of advanced components for FC-propulsion systems (e.g.
air-supply). He holds over 40 patents on the fuel cell field.
Hubert A. Gasteiger has spent 9 years in academic research in
fundamental electrocatalysis and fuel cell-related gas-phase
catalysis, plus 5 years of industrial research and development in
fuel cell components development. Dr Gasteiger was involved in the
stack and stack-component design for GM / Opel's H2-powered Fuel
Cell Cars (H1, H2, and H3), and since 1998 has been manager in
stack components (membranes, catalysts, bipolar plate materials and
coatings, MEAs) development at GM/Opel's Global Alternative
Propulsion Center in Mainz-Kastel, Germany, and at GM's Fuel Cell
Activities facility in Honeoye Falls, New York, USA. Dr Gasteiger
has published 45 publications in refereed journals and co-chaired
the 2000 Gordon Research Conference on Fuel Cells.
"...an invaluable reference source for everyone working in this significant and dynamic field…as well as for electrochemists, scientists, engineers, and policy-makers…should also find a place in academic, industrial, and governmental libraries." (The Chemical Educator, October 2004) "...an admirable up-to-the-minute state of the art source of informative data and descriptions of fuel cell technology." (Fuel) "...an awesome publication...an excellent up-to-date source...newcomers to fuel-cell technology will need look no further..." (Chemistry & Industry, 19 April 2004)
