High Activity Oxygen Evolution Electrocatalysts
This special issue belongs to the section "A5: Hydrogen Energy".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The sustained growth in the production of renewable electricity and the intermittency that is associated with some of these processes make the development of new technologies necessary to solve this problem. One of the major challenges is the development of cost-effective and reliable conversion and storage systems that allow meeting society needs at a large scale. The use of hydrogen as an energy carrier has become a paramount economical and societal asset. The current Special Issue of Energies aims to collect articles that contribute to providing perspectives about the progress, accomplishments, and current technology status of the different strategies used to address current challenges in catalyst development and system designs that help accelerate the introduction of PEMWE as a viable alternative to the current fossil fuel technology and infrastructure. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE)
- Ion exchange membranes
- Advanced electrocatalysts
- Standardization and evaluation protocols
- PEMWE stack
- PEMWE hardware design
- Prototypes

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized 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.
