Preface

World-scale challenges such as climate change, depletion of fossil resources, and the fast increasing energy demand has significantly boosted the R&D on alternative devices for energy conversion and storage. In this context, emerging technologies such as fuel cells and batteries are called to play an important role in any sustainable scenario. However, the successful large-scale implementation of these devices in realistic applications is subjected to numerous constraints in terms of cost, efficiency, durability, safety and impact on the environment. Precise design of cells and stacks is then required, and production cost constraints drive more and more the R&D to go bey
