Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to announce the opening of a new Special Issue in the Applied Science Journal with the title “Hydrogen Storage Materials for Hydrogen and Energy Carriers”.
The main topics of this issue will be the development of new materials and processes for hydrogen storage and energy carriers. Hydrogen storage is a key enabling technology for the advancement of sustainable hydrogen and fuel cell technologies for applications focused on stationary power, portable power, and transportation. Hydrogen storage can occur via several methods and several materials have been demonstrated for effective hydrogen storage processes. Although, there is still plenty of space for the development of novel materials in order to achieve the Department of Energy (DoE) targets by 2025.
From this perspective, the current Special Issue will contribute to the field by presenting the most relevant advances in this research area.
Some of the topics proposed for the Special Issue are (but not limited to) the following:
- Materials for solid-state hydrogen storage for automotive or stationary applications
- Materials and processes for hydrogen compression
- Materials and processes for hydrogen production
- Hydrogen storage in liquid form
- Hydrogen storage in compressed gaseous form
- Metal hydrides for thermal energy storage
- Large-scale hydrogen storage
- Metal–organic frameworks for hydrogen storage
- 2D materials for hydrogen storage
- Theoretical study on hydrogen storage
- Thermal management of metal hydride tanks
We hope you will contribute your high-quality research and we look forward to reading your valuable results.
Dr. Evangelos I. Gkanas
Guest Editor
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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
