Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We kindly invite you to submit a manuscript, review or short communication for this Special Issue. Hydrogen is used throughout the entire chemical industry as a chemical, and it is also raising attention as an alternative fuel. Its production can spread from technologically, well-assessed routes, from fossil sources, to different possible alternative scenarios, such as the use of renewable biofuels, the splitting of water (photo-catalytic, electro-catalytic, or thermal), and biochemical pathways. Catalysis plays a key role in all them. The interest recently shifted also from centralized production to distributed generation or microgeneration, to cope with on-site production needs.
Therefore, we welcome contributions regarding all the different technologies for hydrogen production, which may be focused on the following topics (but not limited to them):
- process design issues for hydrogen production
- kinetics
- reactors sizing and modelling (including microreactors)
- process simulation (either in steady state conditions or dynamic)
- cost evaluation
- life cycle assessment
- safety issues
- process control
- scale up issues, prototypes and demonstrative units
- design of catalytic materials for the production of hydrogen
We encourage you to focus your attention on the process design issues that you have addressed or that have not been addressed yet.
We look forward to receiving your manuscripts!
