Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Solar hydrogen production is a promising way to take advantage of solar energy and tackle climate change resulting from fossil fuel combustion. Photocatalytic, photothermal catalytic, photovoltaic–electrochemical, photoelectrochemical, solar thermochemical, and photobiological processes are routes for solar hydrogen production. In addition, solar biomass gasification is a process becoming more and more mature, allowing biomass valorization for hydrogen production without combustion. This Special Issue is dedicated to recent advances, challenges, and future perspectives for solar hydrogen production. Original and high-quality research in the form of technical and review papers focusing on process modelling and advanced automatic control (works dealing with artificial intelligence-based modelling and automatic control approaches are of particular interest in this research field), conversion efficiency, durability, economic viability, and environmental sustainability are 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. Clean Technologies is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
