Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydrogen energy and economy have become key points in the world energy scenario, and an increasing number of scientists devoted to fundamental and applicative research in the field of hydrogen production and storage. Together with the optimization of already established materials by alloying and the functionalization with catalysts and destabilizing agents, the research is very active in the preparation of innovative systems with improved efficiency in the green production of hydrogen or in its safe storage. Stationary and on-board applications for the solid-state systems are equally important in affirming the role of hydrogen as a chemical energy storage medium and an energy vector. Circular economy is becoming increasingly important in the recovery of elements and compounds with great added values in this frame, such as carbon-based materials from agricultural and food wastes or metals and metallic alloys from industrial processes.
The strategic role of women in these research fields is now proven, and the number of publications involving women in key roles is increasing considerably.
With this in mind, the current Special Issue aims to highlight women’s contributions in ‘hydrogen production and storage’ and to facilitate collaboration opportunities at an interdisciplinary, global level. This Special Issue thus aims to provide a comprehensive collection of works by eminent women scientists all from around the world on the recent advances and developments in the hydrogen economy.
Research articles and review papers are welcome on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Green (electrochemical, photochemical) hydrogen production;
- Solid-state hydrogen storage in porous materials;
- Solid-state hydrogen storage in metal alloys and high entropy alloys;
- Practical implementation of innovative hydrogen storage technologies.
We welcome submissions from all authors, irrespective of gender.

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. Hydrogen 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 1200 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.
Women’s Special Issue Series
This Special Issue is part of Hydrogen's Women’s Special Issue Series, hosted by women editors for women researchers. The Series advocates the advancement of women in science. We invite contributions to the Special Issue whose lead authors identify as women. The submission of articles with all-women authorship is especially encouraged. However, we do welcome articles from all authors, irrespective of gender.
