Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To slow down climate change and reduce dependence on fossil fuels, the need for clean and renewable energy sources has greatly increased in recent decades. Hydrogen is a promising candidate for energy storage and transportation, and proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis is a key technology for producing hydrogen from water using renewable energy. Topics related to PEM electrolysis, including electrocatalysis, materials development, system design and optimization, and industrial applications, are vital for the development of PEM electrolysis devices. The goal of this Special Issue is to facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations and inspire new ideas for improving the performance, efficiency, and sustainability of PEM electrolysis devices. Ultimately, the aim is to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon energy system by enabling the widespread deployment of clean hydrogen technologies. Overall, this Special Issue would provide a valuable platform for researchers and engineers to share their latest findings and ideas on this important technology. It would help to advance the field and bring us closer to realizing the full potential of PEM electrolysis for producing clean and renewable fuel.
The Special Issue welcomes original submissions in the form of reviews and articles. The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Water electrolysis;
- CO2 electroreduction;
- Electrochemical catalysts;
- Membrane electrode assembly;
- Design of electrocatalytic devices;
- Materials and fabrication techniques;
- Efficiency and durability;
- Integration with renewable energy systems.

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. Materials 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.
