Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will focus on the research and application of advanced materials for synthesis gas storage (e.g., hydrogen, methane, ammonia, and CO₂). The energy transformation driven by sustainable energy use and carbon dioxide reduction requires the development of materials with outstanding adsorption, storage, and stability properties.
Main Topics and Areas:
Porous materials for gas storage:
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and zeolites as high-capacity storage platforms for hydrogen and other syngas.
Improving adsorption and desorption efficiencies using functionalized surface coatings.
Solid-state materials for hydrogen storage:
Metal hydride compounds MxHx with improved hydrogenation and dehydrogenation cycling.
Nanostructured materials and composites increasing gas storage density.
Materials for carbon dioxide capture and conversion:
Amine-impregnated adsorbents and other surface-functionalized materials for efficient CO₂ capture.
Materials for CO₂ conversion to syngas or fuels using catalysts.
Membrane technologies for gas separation and storage:
Ceramic, polymer, and hybrid membranes for selective gas separation.
Analysis of long-term membrane stability in extreme environments.
Studies of material stability and resistance:
Structural properties of materials under long-term syngas storage conditions.
Analysis of corrosion resistance and chemical degradation.
Research on coatings and their properties.
This Special Issue will promote innovations aimed at creating more sustainable and efficient solutions for the storage of synthetic gas, based on new achievements in advanced materials engineering. It is expected that the scientific articles presented will become the basis for the implementation of the goals of energy transformation and climate change mitigation.

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. 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.
