Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At present, due to the widespread use of traditional fossil fuel, problems such as energy deficiency and environmental emissions have become increasingly serious. Hydrogen has been considered one of the best potential alternative energy carriers because of its high energy density, environment friendliness, and renewability. Safe and efficient hydrogen storage and release of hydrogen are regarded as the key challenge when it comes to large-scale applications of hydrogen energy. Chemical hydrogen storage materials, i.e., organic chemical hydrides, inorganic chemical hydrides, etc., with high hydrogen contents, which store hydrogen in the form of chemical bonds, are highly promising as hydrogen sources for fuel cells. The production of hydrogen through different catalytic processes, e.g., traditional catalysis, electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, and photo-electrocatalysis, has received intensive attention. Most such processes are driven by various catalysts. Thus, the development of economic and highly efficient catalysts is particularly important.
This Special Issue on “Chemical Technologies for Hydrogen Storage and Production” aims to curate novel advances in the nanocatalyst design, synthesis, and application in hydrogen storage and production. Topics include but are not limited to:
- Hydrogen production from chemical hydrides;
- Traditional catalytic hydrogen production;
- Electrocatalytic hydrogen production;
- Photocatalytic hydrogen production;
- Photo-electrocatalytic hydrogen

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
