Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the global energy structure has transitioned toward cleaner and lower-carbon systems in recent years, hydrogen energy has emerged as a vital component of the new energy paradigm, owing to its high energy density and zero carbon emissions. Against this backdrop, proton-exchange membrane fuel cells and water electrolysis technologies play pivotal roles in hydrogen utilization and green hydrogen production technologies, respectively.
This Special Issue aims to solicit contributions of modeling studies, experimental investigations, and review articles related to proton-exchange membrane fuel cells and electrolyzers. Submissions concerning other types of fuel cell research are also invited.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following：
- Multiphysics modeling approaches;
- Analysis of static and dynamic characteristics;
- Advanced control methodologies;
- Emerging catalytic materials;
- Health state monitoring and fault diagnosis;
- System integration and optimization;
- Energy management strategies.

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.
