Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydrogen is widely recognized as a promising energy carrier, industrial feedstock, and clean fuel that can support the global transition toward carbon-neutral and sustainable energy systems. However, the efficient storage and transportation of hydrogen remain major technological challenges, requiring the development of advanced materials with enhanced capacity, safety, durability, and economic viability.
This Special Issue, ‘New Materials for the Transport and Storage of Hydrogen,’ aims to showcase recent advances in the design, synthesis, characterization, and application of innovative materials for hydrogen storage and transport technologies.
Contributions addressing structure–property relationships, hydrogen adsorption and desorption mechanisms, diffusion phenomena, catalytic enhancement, material stability, hydrogen embrittlement, corrosion, computational modeling, machine-learning-assisted material discovery, and advanced characterization techniques are particularly encouraged. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Boron-based hydrogen storage materials;
- Electrospun nanofibers and nanocomposites;
- MXenes and 2D materials;
- Metal and alloy hydrides;
- Composite sorbents and hybrid materials;
- Functional coatings and barrier materials for hydrogen transport infrastructure;
- Materials for cryogenic hydrogen storage;
- LOHC-based hydrogen carriers;
- Catalyst for hydrogen storage;
- Electrochemical hydrogen storage;
- AI-assisted materials discovery;
- Computational materials design.

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. Materials 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.
