Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydrogen is almost always present, either in the gaseous state at the material/environment interface, or generated by physicochemical reactions often associated with the decomposition of water. It is also the only element capable, at moderate temperatures, of easily penetrating and diffusing into metallic materials. This phenomenon has dramatic consequences, leading to the weakening of these structures.
The embrittlement of steels by hydrogen has been the subject of much theoretical and applied research for decades. However, the aim, in the near future, to use hydrogen as an alternative to fossil fuels only increases the need to address the remaining technological barriers, as well barriers to its transport, production, use, and storage.
Indeed, the advantage of hydrogen is twofold since it has the capacity to be used as energy as such, but it can also serve as energy storage (via ecological production by solar, wind, biomass, etc.).
The objective of this Special Issue is to highlight the latest innovations in the field.

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.
