Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydrogen is increasingly recognized as a cornerstone of the global transition toward sustainable and carbon-neutral energy systems. However, the large-scale deployment of hydrogen energy critically depends on the development of safe, efficient, and cost-effective storage technologies. This Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Hydrogen Storage: Strategies, Technologies, Safety and Future Directions”, aims to bring together cutting-edge research and comprehensive reviews that address the scientific, technical, and practical challenges of hydrogen storage.
We invite contributions that explore a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to, the following: novel materials for physical and chemical hydrogen storage (metal hydrides, complex hydrides, porous materials, cryo-compressed systems, and solid-state storage); advancements in system design and integration for transportation, industrial, and stationary applications; and modeling, simulation, and optimization approaches for hydrogen storage performance. Papers focusing on safety analysis, risk assessment, and mitigation strategies in hydrogen handling and storage systems are especially encouraged, as safety remains a central issue in the realization of the hydrogen economy.
This Special Issue also welcomes the submission of forward-looking perspectives that outline emerging technologies, policy frameworks, and future research directions needed to accelerate hydrogen adoption worldwide. By integrating insights from materials science, chemical engineering, energy systems, and environmental policy, this Special Issue aims to provide a holistic understanding of hydrogen storage’s current status and future potential.
Researchers, engineers, and practitioners are invited to contribute original research articles, reviews, and case studies that advance knowledge and practice in hydrogen storage science and technology.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Energies 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 2600 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.
