Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fuel cells are key elements for building a competitive, secure and sustainable clean energy economy. The broad range of benefits to the environment, economy and energy security that fuel cells offer include reduced oil consumption, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, reduced pollution, highly efficient energy conversion and highly reliable grid support.
Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells, also known as Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuels Cells (PEMFC) accounted for over 67.7% of the fuel cells market in 2019 and are widely used in automotive, stationary and portable applications such as forklifts, automobiles, telecommunications, primary power systems, and backup power systems.
To address the needs in today’s fuel cell industry, this Special Issue on PEMFCs focuses on research related to:
- PEMFC systems applications
- PEMFC hybrid power systems
- Innovative and alternative materials for PEMFCs
- PEMFC designs
- PEMFC characterization methods
- Air, heat, and water management for PEMFCs
- Numerical modeling and simulations of PEMFC systems
- PEMFC system integration
- Industrial production technologies for PEMFCs
- Operating strategies for PEMFCs
- Methods and strategies for PEMFC material quality control
- PEMFC material durability and reliability

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.
