Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydrogen is widely regarded as a pivotal clean energy carrier for achieving a sustainable and low-carbon future. Its efficient and safe storage, however, remains a significant scientific and technological challenge that underpins the broader deployment of hydrogen energy systems.
This Special Issue aims to compile and disseminate cutting-edge research and comprehensive reviews addressing the multifaceted aspects of hydrogen storage.
We welcome original contributions and review articles that explore recent breakthroughs, ongoing challenges and future perspectives in this dynamic field. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Development of novel materials for hydrogen storage (e.g., metal hydrides, porous adsorbents, chemical hydrides, liquid organic hydrogen carriers).
- Design, modeling and optimization of hydrogen storage systems and integrated infrastructures.
- Advanced characterization techniques for storage materials and performance evaluation.
- Safety assessment, risk analysis and lifecycle analysis of hydrogen storage technologies.
- Hydrogen compatibility of materials, hydrogen-resistant materials and advanced sealing materials for hydrogen applications.
- Innovative concepts and hybrid systems for stationary and mobile storage applications.
By bringing together research from materials science, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering and system safety disciplines, this Special Issue seeks to foster interdisciplinary dialog and accelerate progress towards practical, efficient and safe hydrogen storage solutions. We look forward to your valuable submissions.

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.
