Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Negative impacts from the dominant use of petroleum-based transportation have propelled the globe towards electrified transportation in all sectors, including aircraft, trains, ships, and electric vehicles (EVs). This shift is expected to rapidly advance as the benefits, political incentives, and falling prices. Of particular importance to enable electrified transportation is the availability of economically and technologically robust batteries and charging technologies. With continued research on batteries, polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells (PEMFC) and charging stations, technologies will be refined, and standards will be developed, which will encourage the increased adoption of EVs and Fuel Cell vehicles (FCVs), leading to a more sustainable energy future. This Special Issue will be coordinated by the Applied Science from MDPI (ISSN 2076-3417, WOS SCIE, Impact Factor 2.679 (2020), Q2). The main objective of this Special Issue is to provide timely solutions for emerging scientific/technical challenges in electromobility, battery electrochemistry, PEMFC, material, algorithmic, hardware aspects of battery management systems, and equipment and technologies based on renewable energy (REW) used in Hybrid Power Systems (HPSs) involved in charging stations.
Topics of interest of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Battery diagnosis, prognosis, energy and health management
- Battery electrochemical/material characteristics
- Battery temperature control technologies
- Battery charging technologies, and alternative energy based electric vehicle charging station
- Battery management system hardware design and verification
- Battery modeling and state estimation
- FC diagnosis, prognosis, energy and health management
- FC mathematical modeling
- FC real time simulation
- FC diagnosis, control, monitoring
- Electric, FC and hybrid vehicles
- REW-based HPS diagnosis, prognosis, energy and health management
- REW-based HPS mathematical modeling
- REW-based HPS real time simulation
- REW-based HPS diagnosis, control, monitoring
- Charging stations for EVs.
- Optimization and prediction strategies for energy management and diagnostics
- Convergence of Blockchain and IoT for Secure Transportation and High Electromobility
Papers received are subject to a rigorous, but fast, peer review procedure, ensuring wide dissemination of research results accepted for this Special Issue. I am writing to invite you to submit your original work to this Special Issue. I am looking forward to receiving your outstanding research outcomes.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
