Electrochemistry
 
I want to do some research on electrochemistry, seeing as I'm doing a major project on Fuel Cells, but I don't know where to start. Are there any good websites you know of? Any good books you might recommend?

I've gathered that basically it's the study of making electricity through chemical reactions. As in my PEM Fuel Cell: H2 is passed through the cell where it meets the catalyst which splits the atoms into their protons+ and their electrons-. The hydrogen is attracted to the oxygen that is on the other side of the membrane, the protons go through the membrane but the electrons can't so they go through an external circuit where they create an electric current, then the protons and electrons meet again and react with the oxygen to form water vapor.

Any help much appreciated,

This is the first place I'd look:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemistry

Google's good too. Also, look in the index of a general chemistry book.

Already went there. Do you know any books?

Not really. Sorry.

OK then. Do you know any companies in Canada that might fund me for my project?
