Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) and Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells (SOECs) are efficient and clean energy conversion and storage technologies that have become an important focus globally. Over the past few years, as the global energy landscape has undergone profound changes, these technologies have moved beyond the laboratory and into practical applications, showing impressive progress. In particular, with the goal of achieving "carbon neutrality" and driving the global energy transition, SOFC/SOEC technologies are showing huge potential in fields like power generation, energy storage, and hydrogen production. In this Special Issue, we wish to cover novel SOFC/SOEC electrode materials; the synergistic optimization of fuel cells and electrolytes; the interconnection of SOFCs; novel solid electrolyte materials; lightweight porous metal supported SOFCs; interface engineering; and SOFCs’ stack performance and durability.

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. Inorganics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2200 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.
