Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydrogen has been recognized as one of the most promising sustainable and environmentally friendly energy carriers for humans in the future. Hydrocarbon conversion is an important route to produce hydrogen in an economic and scalable manner. Many technologies can be adopted for hydrogen production from hydrocarbon, which includes thermal cracking, steam/dry reforming, partial oxidation, and so on. Furthermore, advanced conversion processes based on photo- and electro-catalysis have been developed as emerging technology. The research is highly interdisciplinary, containing advanced material development, fundamental reaction engineering and novel system design.
We invite authors to contribute original research and review articles that focus on every aspect of hydrocarbon conversion for H2. Potential topics may include, but are not limited to:
- Thermo-catalytic hydrocarbon conversion for H2, such as:
- Steam/dry reforming of hydrocarbons (e.g., methane, ethanol, tar and so on);
- Partial oxidation of hydrocarbons;
- Biomass cracking;
- Waste cracking.
- Hydrocarbon conversion for H2 based on photo- and electro-catalysis;
- Chemical looping process for hydrocarbon conversion for H2;
- Advanced reactor design of hydrocarbon conversion for H2, such as:
- Membrane reator;
- Plasma reactor;
- Microchannel-reactor.
- Direct hydrocarbon fuel cell;
- H2 separation/purification from products of hydrocarbon conversion;
- Systematic energy and economic assessment of hydrocarbon conversion for H2.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
