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 due not only to its benefits, but also political incentives, and falling prices. Of particular importance to enabling 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, leading to a more sustainable energy future. This Special Issue will be coordinated by Applied Sciences MDPI. 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 charging technologies.
Topics of interest of this Special Issue include but are not limited to:
- Battery diagnosis, prognosis, and health management;
- Battery electrochemical/material characteristics;
- Battery temperature control technologies;
- Battery charging technologies, and alternative energy-based electric vehicle charging stations;
- Battery management system hardware design and verification;
- Battery modeling and state estimation;
- PEMFC mathematical modeling;
- PEMFC real time simulation;
- PEMFC diagnosis, control, and monitoring.

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 papers will be 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.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
