Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The greenhouse effect of this century is increasing, and hence, a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions through various methods is the global consensus. Developing green and renewable energy has been the main target until now. However, the major issue of renewable energy is the unstable output of power that is affected by seasonal and environmental factors, which results in electric grid management difficulties. The advantages of proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) for energy storage during off-peak periods are its high current density, high purity gas production (H2 and O2), and compact system. The supply of stored hydrogen and oxygen gas for the fuel cell is used to generate power during the peak-hour period. Additionally, accompanied with a higher operating voltage and proper anode materials, ozone (O3) gas will be generated in addition to oxygen. Ozone is a natural and effecitve disfection gas. The PEMWE technique, which produces three kinds of gases (H2, O2, and O3), will expand the application area from green energy to green technology.
This Special Issue will highlight the importance of the components (membrane, anode/cathode, membrane electrode assembly, and stack), PEMWE systems, and their applications. It welcomes both original contributions and reviews related, but not limited, to the issues as stated above.

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. Membranes 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 2200 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.
