Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The effort to tackle climate change and achieve a greener and more sustainable society, firmly based on the use of renewable energy sources, actually simultaneously requires the adoption of a more efficient synergic approach based on the simultaneous use of different technologies. In this framework, the combination of electrochemical batteries, fuel cells, and hydrogen technologies probably represents the most promising strategy that can be used to reach this goal. However, several critical issues in all those technologies, either linked to materials, duration, efficiency, safety, reliability, and so on, as well as their optimal integration, still need to be addressed and solved to allow their stable adoption in a wider range of applications, such as electric vehicles and larger energy storage systems.
This Special issue aims to provide a broad overview of the most recent updates on electrochemical batteries, fuel cells, as well as hydrogen production, storage, and conversion technologies (either in the form of review articles or research papers).
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Components materials;
- Nanomaterials for energy storage;
- Solar-based ESS;
- Renewable energy integration and grid applications;
- Modelling and simulation of energy storage materials, fuel cells, and electrochemical capacitors;
- The mitigation of degradation paths in automotive energy systems;
- Advancements in systems control;
- Cost reduction strategies;
- Advanced catalysts for fuel cells;
- Reversible fuel cells;
- Realistic and safe solutions for sustainable hydrogen production, storage, and transportation;
- Economic analyses and business models related to hydrogen technologies.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
