Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydrogen storage in solid-state metals and alloys (so-called metal hydrides) has attracted significant attention in recent decades due to its excellent performance in comparison to other hydrogen storage technologies such as liquid- and gas-state forms. The main advantages of hydrogen storage in metal hydrides are the high volumetric and gravimetric capacities, safety and low overall cost of the systems. Even considering the huge number of materials reported in the literature focusing on hydrogen storage, the existing reversible metal hydrides do not fulfil all the requirements and properties desired for on-board or stationary applications as suggested by the Department of Energy (DOE) targets for 2025. However, the development of new classes of metal hydrides with optimum hydrogen storage properties is essential for the future success of the hydrogen storage economy around the world.
This Special Issue will be devoted to the recent advances in hydrogen storage in metals and alloys including new strategies for processing and improving their hydrogen storage properties aiming at competitive hydrogen storage applications. Submissions of manuscripts on novel alloys possessing high and reversible hydrogen storage capacities are especially emphasized.

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. Metals 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 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.
