"The book says that solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are the most efficient devices yet invented for conversion of chemical fuels directly into electrical power. It points out that improvements in theory and experiment are still being made 120 years after the original work on fuel cells." --Power Electronics "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. " --Paola Costamagna, DICHEP - University of Genova, Italy
