Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Currently, hydrogen is considered the fuel of the future, and for hydrogen to be widely used, infrastructure and gas distribution must be built. One of the tasks in this area is the production of green hydrogen from renewable energy sources (i.e., biomass or waste). Regardless of which direction the energy policy of Europe takes, the acquisition, transport and storage of hydrogen constitute an important aspect of building the hydrogen infrastructure of European countries. In this regard, the material aspects, e.g., durability, service life, availability and safety, rest on solving the problems of materials engineering and corrosion of materials.

I invite colleagues with research interests related to interdisciplinary issues in the field of hydrogen and materials dedicated to it to present their research, share their knowledge and expand the group of scientists supporting each other.

Let us start an adventure together that will end with the realization of the vision of using hydrogen as a conventional and environmentally friendly fuel.

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.

The effect of thermal treatment of aluminum core-shell particles on their oxidation kinetics in water for hydrogen production was investigated. The samples were obtained by dividing dried aluminum powder, partially oxidized by distilled water, into eight portions, which were thermally treated at temperatures of 120, 200, 300, 400, 450, 500, 550 and 600 °C. Alumina shell cracking at 500–600 °C enhances hydrogen generation due to uncovering of the aluminum cores, while sharp thickening of the protective oxide film on the uncovered aluminum surfaces at 550–600 °C significantly reduces reactivity of the core-shell particles. For these reasons, after reaction with distilled water at 90 °C for two hours, the highest hydrogen yield (11.59 ± 1.20)% was obtained for the sample thermally treated at 500 °C , while the yield for aluminum core-shell powder without heat treatment was only (5.46 ± 0.13)%. Another set of experiments employed multiple consecutive cycles of alternating oxidation by water and thermal treatment at 500 °C of the same powder sample. As predicted, the hydrogen yield gradually decreased with each subsequent experiment. The series of six cycles resulted in a total hydrogen yield of 53.46%. Full article

High-performance composite Pd membranes were successfully fabricated using electroless plating with an EDTA-free bath. The plating started with employing the one-time addition of hydrazine. In the experiment, the hydrazine concentrations and plating bath volumes were systematically varied to optimize the plating. The optimum composite Pd membrane tube showed high H2 permeance of 4.4 × 10−3 mol/m2 s Pa0.5 and high selectivity of 1.6 × 104, but poor cycling stability. Then, a method of sequential addition of the hydrazine from the high to low concentrations was employed. The resultant membrane, about 6 μm thick, still exhibited a high selectivity of 6.8 × 104 as well as a much-improved plating yield and cycling stability level; this membrane outperformed the membrane made using the unmodified plating technique with the EDTA-contained bath. This result indicates the EDTA-free bath combined with the sequential addition of hydrazine is a simple, low-cost, yet effective method for preparing thin, dense composite Pd membranes featuring high hydrogen permeation flux and high thermal durability.
