Applications, Optimization, and Comprehensive Characterization of Hydrogen Storage Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Hydrogen storage materials have long been a matter of interest toward the application of hydrogen as an energy vector. In particular, the compact size of hydrogen stores based on hydrides and the low pressures involved in this type of storage are an attractive selling point, especially regarding safety and in regions subject to stringent regulations regarding pressure vessels, such as Japan.

The field of hydrogen storage materials is a very diverse one, and therefore, many different types of materials can be considered for application in a variety of cases—solid (as in hydrides), liquid (such as LOHCs), and gaseous (for instance, NH₃).

I am writing to invite you to participate in a Special Issue of the journal Materials on “Applications, Optimization, and Comprehensive Characterization of Hydrogen Storage Materials”. This title has been selected to include both application- and characterization-oriented studies, since they complement each other. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

Dr. José M. Bellosta von Colbe

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. 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.
