Electrochemically-Based Hydrogen Energy Preparation in Energy Conversion

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue entitled “Electrochemically-Based Hydrogen Energy Preparation in Energy Conversion” aims to explore the advancements and challenges in the field of electrochemical hydrogen energy preparation as a key component of efficient energy conversion systems.

In recent years, there has been growing interest in utilizing hydrogen as a clean and sustainable energy carrier, particularly in the context of transitioning to a low-carbon economy. Electrochemical methods have emerged as promising strategies for hydrogen production, storage, and utilization due to their efficiency, scalability, and environmental friendliness. This Special Issue seeks to shed light on the latest research and developments in electrochemical processes for hydrogen energy preparation.

This Special Issue welcomes original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that address various aspects of electrochemical hydrogen energy preparation in energy conversion. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Novel electrocatalysts and materials for efficient hydrogen evolution reactions (HERs) and hydrogen oxidation reactions (HORs).
2. Advances in electrochemical water electrolysis techniques.
3. Design and optimization of electrochemical cells and reactors for hydrogen production.
4. Integration of electrochemical processes with renewable energy sources for sustainable hydrogen generation.
5. Electrochemical hydrogen storage and its application in energy conversion systems.
6. Technological advancements and challenges in scaling up electrochemical hydrogen production for industrial applications.
7. Advances in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs).

This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers, engineers, and industry professionals to share their insights, innovative approaches, and practical experiences in electrochemical hydrogen energy preparation. It will contribute to the collective knowledge and promote further advancements in the field.
