Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Corrosion remains a major challenge in sustainable industrial development, particularly as the world transitions toward greener energy and circular economy principles. Metals and alloys play a crucial role in renewable energy systems, hydrogen infrastructure, carbon capture technologies, and material recycling, but their long-term durability is often compromised by complex corrosion mechanisms. Understanding and mitigating corrosion in these environments is essential to improve efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and ensure the longevity of critical infrastructure.
This Special Issue, entitled "Corrosion and Sustainability: Challenges, Innovations and Future Perspectives in Green Energy", aims to collate the latest research on corrosion-related challenges and solutions in sustainable technologies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Hydrogen embrittlement and corrosion in hydrogen production, storage, and transport;
- Eco-friendly corrosion inhibitors and sustainable protective coatings;
- Corrosion of materials in carbon capture, utilization, and storage technologies;
- Corrosion challenges in emerging energy technologies from lithium batteries to hydrogen infrastructure;
- The impact of corrosion on recycled metals and circular economy strategies.
We invite researchers from academia and industry to contribute original research articles, reviews, and case studies that explore cutting-edge corrosion science and sustainable engineering solutions.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions.
Dr. Davood Nakhaie

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.
