Current Advances in Fuel Cell Technology 2024

Dear Colleagues,

We invite the submission of research findings for consideration to be included in this Special Issue concerning the Current Advances in Fuel Cell Technology.

With the rising demand to reduce carbon emissions, fuel cell technologies are being regarded as a sustainable power generation solution, having a favorable impact on future energy systems in various applications, from automotive to power generations, including for portable, residential, and power plant applications.

Although substantial effort has been undertaken to develop this technology at various levels from materials to systems, a significant number of challenges remain in the research and development stage. This Special Issue hopes to include papers attempting to propose solutions in the field of fuel cell technology systems to their full achievable extent.

Some key areas of research and development relevant to fuel cell technology are the fundamental investigation, modeling and simulation, and design and control at different levels, i.e., new materials, components, and systems. In addition, innovative solutions, for instance, the integration of fuel cell systems with other technologies, techno-economic analysis, and safety assessment to improve safety and efficiency of the fuel cell system should receive considerable attention in this Special Issue. Review papers are also welcome. All types of fuel cells and their applications are considered relevant.

We eagerly anticipate your valuable research contributions in this Special Issue.
