Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The production of hydrogen as a clean, renewable, and efficient energy carrier is a critical area of research in the transition to sustainable energy systems. Nanocatalysts have emerged as promising materials to improve hydrogen production and evolution processes due to their unique physicochemical properties, including high surface area, tunable electronic structures, and enhanced reactivity at the nanoscale. This special issue aims to provide a platform for cutting-edge research on the design, synthesis, characterization, and application of nanocatalysts in hydrogen production and evolution reactions, including water splitting, thermochemical processes, and photoelectrocatalytic or electrocatalytic hydrogen generation. topics of interest include, but are not limited to, advancements in the development of novel nanomaterials such as metal oxides, sulfides, carbides, and hybrid materials, as well as their functionalization and optimization for enhanced catalytic performance. in addition, contributions that address challenges related to the durability, efficiency, and scalability of nanocatalysts in real-world applications are highly encouraged. this special issue seeks to gather original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that push the boundaries of current knowledge on nanocatalyst-based hydrogen production and offer insights into future directions for achieving higher hydrogen yields, lower energy input, and cost-effective solutions. By fostering collaboration among materials scientists, chemists, and engineers, this special issue will contribute to advancing the field and unlocking the potential of nanocatalysts in the global hydrogen economy.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
