High-Temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cells for the 21st Century (ePub)

Professor Kendall was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1993, following more than two

decades of advancing research in fuel cells and materials. Previously, he has worked at the University of

Keele and Akron University, and has worked in research at Joseph Lucas, British Railways and ICI.

Professor Kendall is especially noted in the USA where his patents on microtubular SOFCs have been

exploited by two companies (Acumentrics and Nanodynamics) which have since received about 30M$ of

funding for product development. He is also the founder and chief of the Birmingham start-up company.



Adelan which specializes in SOFC technology. He received the Award for Excellence of the American

Adhesion Society in 1999, one of only three Britons ever to achieve this, and was awarded the Wake

medal for adhesion in 2005.

He is Fellow of the Royal Society, Fellow of the Institute of Physics, Member of the Institute of Materials,

Editorial board member for J Adhesion & Adhesives, member of the Hooke Committee of Royal Society

and is Secretary of the Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Centre. His research specializations include fuel cell

science and technology, especially for domestic houses, and Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). He runs the

major SOFC conference in the UK and is also on the Grove and Fuel Cell Forum conference committees.

His current research projects include; collaboration with Adelan Ltd on fuel cell development, the

REALSOFC European project, collaboration with Shell on fuel reforming and a project with Baxi on

implementation of fuel cell systems in domestic houses.

The information contained in most of the chapters is fundamental enough for the book to be useful as a textbook for students at graduate level....Scientists and researchers already active in the field will also find the book very interesting.
