Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydrogen storage is currently one of the most challenging issues impeding the broad introduction of a hydrogen economy. Solid-state hydrogen-rich materials are considered promising storing media for releasing and absorbing gaseous hydrogen due to the high gravimetric and volumetric capacities they are able to reach. However, the desired materials exhibiting large hydrogen content, favorable thermodynamics and fast kinetics have not been obtained, despite significant efforts.
The current special issue of Materials by MDPI focuses on metal-boron-nitrogen based hydrogen storage materials, which comprise various families of compounds and composites, including, amongst others, borohydrides, ammonia borane, amidoboranes and their derivatives. This selection of materials is justified by their very high hydrogen content and relatively low temperature of hydrogen desorption, which can be tuned by adjusting their cationic and anionic composition and doping. Attention will be directed to novel hydrogen-rich systems, their synthesis, characterization and possible applications. However, the Issue will not be limited to these topics, and related submissions are welcome.
We greatly encourage submissions of both young and experienced researchers in order to facilitate a fruitful exchange of ideas.

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. Materials 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.
