Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the global energy landscape is rapidly evolving, there is an urgent need for cleaner and more efficient energy solutions. Hydrogen energy stands at the forefront of the transition to sustainable energy solutions and is poised to play a vital role in shaping a carbon-neutral future. Meanwhile, scientists, engineers, and producers must recognize the crucial challenges in hydrogen energy use, such as hydrogen safety. Hydrogen safety is the key factor restricting the large-scale application of hydrogen energy, so it is necessary to deeply explore the innovation and safety research of hydrogen equipment.
Offering an open and professional communication platform, this Special Issue, “Improving Hydrogen Safety for Energy Applications”, aims to promote the discussion and communication of the latest and forefront ideas, technological innovation, and forecasts in themes and areas related to hydrogen equipment and safety.
It expects articles focusing on the following five themes:
- Hydrogen flow and heat transfer;
- Hydrogen leakage and diffusion;
- Risk assessment of hydrogen energy equipment;
- Technology for hydrogen storage and transportation;
- Hydrogen energy equipment test, design, and manufacture.
We look forward to considering your submissions.
Prof. Dr. Jianjun Ye
Guest Editor
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.
