Advances in Hydrogen Energy Safety Technology, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Hydrogen energy is considered one of the most promising fuels, especially in fuel cell vehicles (FCV), provides immediate solutions to problems associated with current fossil fuel-based vehicle technologies, for example, a reduction in greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions. The use of hydrogen greatly helps to achieve ‘emission peak’ & ‘carbon neutrality’. However, the potential risk of hydrogen damage, leakage, flammability, and explosion makes the hydrogen storage system in FCV face several challenges. To be effective, and competitive for daily use, it still needs a highly reliable hydrogen energy system, which is highly dependent on technological improvements. This Special Issue on “Advances in Hydrogen Energy Safety Technology” aims to bring together the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns as well as practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted in the field of hydrogen energy safety. Original research articles and reviews are welcome in this Special Issue. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Hydrogen compatibility of materials;
• Effect of hydrogen on materials;
• Hydrogen sealing technology;
• Performance, durability and reliability of hydrogen storage tanks;
• Liquid/gas hydrogen leakage, fire and explosion;
• Hydrogen safety in manufacture, storage and transportation etc.;
• Hydrogen risk analysis and management;
• Hydrogen standards and codes.

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-anonymized 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.
