Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As a green and renewable energy source, hydrogen is considered one of the most important directions for future energy development, which has flourished globally in recent years and has broad market prospects. The large-scale utilization of renewable energy for hydrogen production cuts the cost of obtaining hydrogen. Furthermore, the continuous improvement of fuel cell technology and hydrogen storage technology strengthens the integration of hydrogen energy with smart grids and vehicles to reduce holistic carbon emissions and promote sustainable development. Compared with conventional renewable energies, though with numerous merits, there are also many challenges associated with global hydrogen utilization, especially the technologies of relevant hydrogen devices, such as fuel cells, and electrolyzers, among others.
In this Special Issue, both original research articles and reviews are welcomed. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Hydrogen generation and transmission in smart grid;
- Hydrogen storage and transportation for multi-energy system;
- Hydrogen vehicles for resilience enhancement;
- Fuel cell controlling with hydrogen fuel;
- Optimal operation of the hydrogen-based microgrid;
- Smart operation of hydrogen sources via artificial intelligence;
- Economics of hydrogen systems in smart grid;
- Carbon-emission reduction in hydrogen infrastructure;
- Heat recycling of hydrogen systems;
- Hydrogen energy market.

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. Electronics 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.
