Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells are becoming popular nowadays as alkaline fuel cells, phosphoric acid fuel cells, molten carbonate fuel cells, solid oxide fuel cells. Due to its relatively lower operating temperature, PEM cells encounter minimal thermal loss. They are too smaller in volume and lighter in weight, making them perfect for automotive and portable applications. That's why PEM fuel cells power all of the hydrogen-fueled buses and automobiles on the market today from major manufacturers, and why PEM fuel cells contribute to about 90% of fuel cell research and development.
The goal of this Special Issue of Fuel is to bring together articles that reflect the most recent advances in research and development of power generation, vehicle automotive power plants, and power units for portable systems, energy conversion, and energy applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Water management in PEM cells
- PEM Fuel Cell Modeling
- Thermal management of PEM cells
- PEM Fuel Cell System Design
- PEM Fuel Cell Energy Balance
- Application of PEM cells in Automotive
- Application of PEM cells in Backup Power
- Application of PEM Fuel Cells for Small Portable Power
- PEM Fuel Cell Diagnostics

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. Fuels is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
