Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fuel cells are efficient and clean devices used to electrochemically convert the chemical energy of fuels such as hydrogen, natural gas (NG), methanol, ethanol, and hydrocarbons into electrical energy with significantly high efficiency and much lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to well-established internal combustion engine technologies. The performance of the fuel cell is influenced by the operating temperature, fuel, electrocatalyst, membrane, bipolar plate, etc., all of which are the focus of research at this stage. This Special Issue on Fuel Cells: From Synthesis to Application will provide a forum for researchers from the academic and industrial community to present the latest advances in the field of fuel cells.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Electrocatalyst;
- Anion/cation exchange membrane;
- Membrane electrode structure;
- Fuel cells resist toxicity;
- New system fuel cell;
- Fuel cell assembly;
- In situ characterization of fuel cells.

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.
