Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to contribute the latest advances in modern electrochemical devices working with PEM (proton exchange membranes or polymer electrolyte membranes), investigations of their properties and ageing and finding ways to improve their performance.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- New advanced materials for electrochemical devices based on proton exchange membranes—hydrogen fuel cells, membrane-electrode assemblies, electrolyzers, hydrogen pumps, oxygen pumps, etc.;
- Novel inorganic materials for electrocatalysts, catalytic layers and sublayers with improved durability;
- Studies, including model studies, of the degradation processes in the components of the membrane electrode assemblies and methods for its mitigation;
- Coatings of different compositions and structures with high corrosion resistant properties for electrochemical devices;
- Promising non-carbon materials for current collectors, gas diffusion and porous transport layers and catalytic carriers;
- Inorganic additives to improve the properties of the membrane-electrode assembly and its components, including durability, corrosion resistant, conductivity, water balance, freeze resistance, etc.
We look forward to receiving your high-quality contributions.

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 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.
