Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue ‘’Hydrogen: Production, Storage, and Uses’’ is dedicated to publishing high-quality and original research in the field of hydrogen and fuel cells in the global energy system. The status of hydrogen as a clean, flexible energy carrier will be discussed. The main objective of this Special Issue is to publish outstanding papers presenting cutting-edge advances in the field of hydrogen production, storage, and utilisation involving conventional and emerging technologies. The journal aims to explore key challenges in the development of all aspects of the hydrogen economy. Papers on safety considerations, potential regulations, and education in all aspects of hydrogen are also welcome.
The main topics covered by this Special Issue are scientific contributions on the following research topics:
Hydrogen production methods: fossil-fuel-based hydrogen production (grey hydrogen); fossil-fuel-based hydrogen production combined with carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS; blue hydrogen); hydrogen from renewables (green hydrogen) from nuclear power plants; biohydrogen production and bioprocess enhancement; unconventional methods of hydrogen production; on-board hydrogen production technologies; and hydrogen from waste industrial products and materials.
Hydrogen storage methods: methods and general problems of hydrogen storage; high-pressure hydrogen storage; materials for hydrogen tanks; hydrogen storage in liquid form; hydrogen storage in solid states; fuels as hydrogen carriers; and unconventional methods for hydrogen storage.
Hydrogen separation and purification: hydrogen separation and purification via membrane technology; and electrochemical hydrogen compression and purification.
Hydrogen infrastructure: materials and systems for hydrogen transmission; power to gas infrastructure; hydrogen refuelling infrastructure; and systems for monitoring hydrogen safety (codes, standards, and regulations).
Hydrogen applications: hydrogen for combustion in engines and gas turbines; all areas of applications of fuel cells in distributed power systems; transport applications (electric cars, heavy-duty transport, marine ships, drones, aircraft, and other aviation); and hydrogen systems for applications in special services.
Modelling for hydrogen systems and fuel cells: modelling of the physicochemical properties of materials; modelling of all hydrogen production, purification, and distribution; modelling of fuel-cell dynamics for stationary and mobile applications; designs for the control of hydrogen systems and fuel cells; modelling of renewable hybrid systems for hydrogen production; and other areas of the hydrogen economy.
New materials for all areas of the hydrogen economy: new chemical compounds; methods of fabrication enabling the improvement of durability and reduced costs; nanotechnology; composite materials; and the development of analytical methods and techniques for the characterisation of compounds for hydrogen energy applications.
The above list is not exhaustive, and papers on other topics associated with advances in hydrogen technologies are also welcome.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
