Overview direct current conductivity

The purpose of the present review is to summarize the current status of fundamental models for fuel cell engineering and indicate where this burgeoning field is heading. By choice, this review is limited to hydrogen/air polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs), direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs), and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Also, the review does not include microscopic, first-principle modeling of fuel cell materials, such as proton conducting membranes and catalyst surfaces. For good overviews of the latter fields, the reader can turn to Kreuer, Paddison, and Koper, for example.
