About the topic
Fuel cell is a device/technology to converse chemical energy of the fuel cell to electric energy directly, high efficiently, and environmental benignly, it has worldwide recognized as one of the most promising energy technologies in the new century. Currently, the commercialization of proton exchange membrane fuel cell technology has been emerged in China, Japan, USA and some European countries. However, the high cost and poor durability are still the problems hindering the progress of the widespread commercialization of fuel cells, although tremendous progress in fuel cell technologies has been achieved in past decade. Electrocatalyst is one of the most important materials for fuel cell, it plays a crucial role for the performance, cost and durability of fuel cells, thus, huge attention has been paid to develop new catalysts and understanding their electrocatalysis mechanism. To display the innovations and progresses on the fuel cell catalysis in recent years, promoting fuel cell’s application and commercialization, we here propose a special issue to collect the latest research works and reviews about the advances in fuel cell catalysis.
We call for all types of manuscripts, including original research articles, (mini) reviews, perspectives, and brief research reports in the areas of fuel cell catalysis, including but not limited to the following themes:
Manuscript Submission Information

3D Fe3O4-decorated Nitrogen-doped Graphene Aerogel as a Highly Durable Electrocatalyst for Oxygen Reduction ReactionsAbstract The rational design of efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is the key to developing fuel cells and metal-air batteries. Carbon-supported iron-based materials, as the most promising electrocatalysts for ORR, have drawn much attention as they are cost-effective and exhibit high activity. In this work, a three-dimension [...] |
Recent Progress in the Development of Molecular Electrocatalysts for Formate Oxidationby
Kate M. Waldie

Sriram Katipamula
Abstract Fuel cells based on renewable synthetic fuels are promising alternatives to fossil fuel combustion for efficient electricity production. Much focus has been placed on hydrogen as a chemical fuel, but being a flammable gas, there are challenges with its safe handling. Formic acid is an attractive liquid fuel for use in direct formic [...] |

Rolf Teschke studied Medicine in Munich and Marburg, where he finished his MD thesis before starting a residency at the Department of Pathology, University of Marburg. Subsequently and with a fellowship of the Deutsche Forschungsgmeinschaft, he worked at the Bronx VA Hospital/Mount Sinai Hospital in New York during 1972–1975 together with Professor Charles S. Lieber and successfully isolated MEOS and expanded its characterization. Back in Germany, he was at the Heinrich-Heine University in Düsseldorf with a focus on alcoholic liver disease, biochemical drug studies, and clinical intoxications by halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons, where he became a Professor of Medicine. In 1987, he was offered a chief position and appointed as Director of the Medical Department II, City Hospital Hanau, Teaching Hospital of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Frankfurt/Main. His clinical and research interests are on liver injury by drugs and herbs including causality assessment by RUCAM in close association with Dr. Gaby Danan in Paris. A perfect cooperation exists also with Professor Tran Dang Xuan of the University of Hiroshima, Japan. Finally, he is the author of more than 275 publications including books and book chapters, and he is editor in chief of scientific journals and member of editorial boards.
