Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fuel cells offer more efficient energy conversion than most of the standard technologies in use today. Moreover from the environment's perspective, they can be very effective in enabling renewable and sustainable energy systems. However, the technology faces many challenges including system complexity, cost and durability. In this special issue we invite articles that address the current progress in experimentally verified models for (i) control or system design for ensuring dynamic performance; (ii) lowering system complexity and cost; (iii) understanding or reducing degradation.
Papers with focus on materials (such as catalysts, electrodes, electrolytes and diffusion media) or electrochemistry (e.g., in corrosion) will also be considered especially if the work relates to (i)-(iii) above.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
