Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydrogen is heralded as a future global energy carrier. The National Hydrogen Strategy of Australia has set a target for a clean, innovative, safe and competitive hydrogen industry with expectations to become a major exporter in the hydrogen industry by 2030. As such, there is increasing interest from major industries to integrate hydrogen technology into their energy portfolio and supply chains. Metal hydrides have received much interest over the past several decades, which is obvious from a previous related Special Issue published in Inorganics: "Functional Materials Based on Metal Hydrides". Reversible solid-state hydrogen storage at ambient conditions with moderate energy exchange with the surroundings is the ultimate challenge to realise a hydrogen-based society. Varieties of novel materials have been investigated in recent decades, which has provided many novel compositions, fascinating structures and functionalities. Today, metal hydrides are explored for a range of applications from hydrogen export, remote-area power systems, solid-state batteries, thermochemical energy storage and hydrogen diffusion.
The aim of this Special Issue of Inorganics, entitled ‘State-of-the-Art and Progress in Metal-Hydrogen Systems’, is to inspire continued research within this important class of materials, in particular for energy-related applications. This Special Issue also serves as a collection of contributions presented at the International Symposium on Metal-Hydrogen Systems, held in Perth, Western Australia, 30 October–4 November 2022. This meeting, MH2022, is the 17th meeting in a distinguished series of conferences dating back to 1968.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Inorganics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
