Preface:
\nThis interdisciplinary training program for young scientists started as a co-operative project of Graz University
\nof Technology and the Yokohama National University in the year 2008. The training program grew quickly, both in
\nthe number of participants as well as in the number of participating international experts in the field of fuel cell
\nresearch. This proceeding includes short abstracts along with key slides from the presentation of the lecturers of
\nthe 6th International Summer School.
\nThe training program covers research topics in the fields of hydrogen production, basic electrochemistry,
\nthermodynamics, kinetics and catalysis as well as the design and development of the complete fuel cell systems.
\nThe goals of the training are to provide the necessary theoretical background to the young scientists and to make
\nthe young scientists more aware of the need to work closely with colleagues from different fields such as the
\nnatural sciences and engineering departments in order to successfully develop and implement this technology.
\nThe lectures cover following topics:
\n\u2022\uf020Basic principle of fuel cells
\n\u2022\uf020Basic electrochemistry
\n\u2022\uf020Measurement and Characterization Techniques
\n\u2022\uf020PEFC Lifetime and Degradation
\n\u2022\uf020PEFC Applications
\n\u2022\uf020Hydrogen as Fuel
\n\u2022\uf020Hydrogen Production and Heterogeneous Catalysis
\n\u2022\uf020Advanced Material Studies
\nIn 1839, Sch\u00f6nbein and Grove described the working principle of a fuel cell. Since then, it was often claimed
\nduring a number of fuel cell hypes that fuel cells will soon replace conventional power production technologies. So
\nwhy don\u2019t we use fuel cells nowadays in our daily life? \u201cEconomic lifetime\u201d might be the shortest answer, although
\nthe commercialization process of residential co-generation systems started in Japan in the year 2009. Currently
\nare approx. 40,000 systems are in operation with the financial support of the Japanese government. Key industrial
\nplayers push the commercialization of electric vehicles and mobile applications, even during times of economic
\nstagnation. Research institutions and universities are covering all aspects from basic research to system
\ndevelopment in a wide range as never seen before in history. So, this should be the basis to bring this interesting,
\nhigh efficient and clean technology finally to the market.
\nPotential applications include portable equipment like laptop computers and cordless phones, mobile
\napplications like hybrid vehicles and stationary power plants ranging from 1 kW to the MW-class. The main
\nadvantageous features of fuel cells are the high energy conversion efficiencies, low emissions and hopefully with
\nfurther development, their long lifespan.
\nMobile applications get special priority in fuel cell research and development; however mobile applications are
\nusually tied to a controversial issue: hydrogen as fuel. Discourse covering hydrogen production technologies,
\ntransportation and storage of hydrogen will provide the basis for intensive discussions about advantages and
\ndisadvantages of this future fuel. Emphasis will be given to \u201cgreen hydrogen\u201d, produced from renewable energy
\nsources, e.g. water electrolysis with electricity generated by wind turbines or solar cells.
\nI would also like to especially thank Dr. Hiroshi Fukutomi, Ms. Carmen Gehrer and Ms. Kauzo Tsukada for their
\nprofessional support in the organization of the summer program as well as all of the lecturers who contributed so
\nmuch to this effort.
