Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As research efforts continue to strive for renewable and sustainable energy, fuel cells appear to offer a promising and clean power source. Among the fuel cells available, proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells are receiving considerable attention. This special issue invites novel research articles on the latest developments and innovations in PEM fuel cells. It fosters various contributions ranging from material characterization, development of various components in the PEM fuel cell, as well as theoretical and experimental results in this cutting-edge research area. Research and review articles that address the progress in various PEM fuel cell applications are also welcomed.
Topics include but are not limited to:
- Development of new membrane materials.
- Non noble catalysts and low-Pt catalysts
- Membrane-electrode assemblies (MEAs)
- CFD modeling
- Bipolar flow field design
- PEMFCs for automotive applications
- PEMFCs for the aviation applications
- Water and thermal management in PEMFCs

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. Membranes 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 2700 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.
