Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Future of Energy targets a smart and sustainable economy based on knowledge, innovation, and efficient use of resources, especially environmentally friendly ones. Innovation is considered the best tool to face the increasing global competition successfully, and open innovation among universities and industry will create new opportunities and technologies while providing a response to major social challenges. Among the different cutting-edge technologies that emerged in the last decade, Hydrogen and Fuel Cells are part of the portfolio of technologies identified in the Strategic Energy Technology Plan, which aims to accelerate the development of low-carbon technologies with expected contributions to a sustainable and secure energy supply system.
This Special Issue aims to present the most recent developments and future prospects for Hydrogen production and storage systems and Fuel Cell technology. Therefore, the topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- PEM fuel cells;
- Direct Alcohol Fuel Cells;
- Direct Ammonia Fuel Cells;
- Electrolysers;
- Hydrogen Production;
- Hydrogen Storage;
- Safety Issues;
- Life-cycle assessment;
- Durability and lifetime;
- Economic evaluation;
- Modelling approaches;
- Scale-up;
- Novel applications.

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.
