Abstract :
Recent advances with polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells include high-rate performance at reduced catalyst loadings, improved water management through better engineering, thinner membranes and tolerance of CO. But major advances in fuel processors, system integration and cost reduction are still required to be competitive with existing motive power systems
