Proton exchange membrane fuel cells are at present in the forefront of all types of fuel cells because of the quantum jumps in its technology since its application in the 1960s in NASAs Gemini space flights as an auxiliary power source. PEMFC technology since the 1960s highlights the quantum jumps both in the fundamental areas of research (Part I) and in the engineering and technology and developmental (Part II), which are leading to the era of promising applications.
Remark:
