Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the growing global demand for clean energy and the acceleration of the energy transition, it has become essential to develop efficient, scalable, and sustainable hydrogen production and storage technologies. Green hydrogen, produced through the electrolysis of water using renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, has attracted significant attention as a key enabler of a carbon-neutral future. Advances in electrolyzer technology, catalyst materials, and system integration are paving the way for large-scale implementation of green hydrogen production, which holds great potential to decarbonize various sectors, including industry, transportation, and power generation.
In parallel, safe and efficient hydrogen storage remains a critical challenge for the widespread adoption of hydrogen energy. Solid-state hydrogen storage materials, high-pressure tanks, and liquid organic hydrogen carriers have been extensively studied to achieve high storage density and controlled release under mild conditions. In particular, the use of nanostructured materials, advanced metal hydrides, and porous frameworks has shown promising results in enhancing hydrogen uptake and kinetics. Moreover, the integration of intelligent monitoring and management systems into hydrogen storage units is enabling smarter, more reliable energy storage solutions. These developments underscore the vital role of hydrogen storage in building a resilient and flexible hydrogen economy.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute original research and review articles in the field of green hydrogen production and hydrogen energy storage. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following: advanced electrolysis technologies powered by renewables; novel electrocatalysts for oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions; photoelectrochemical and biological hydrogen production; solid-state and material-based hydrogen storage; high-pressure and cryogenic storage systems; lifecycle, techno-economic, and sustainability analysis of hydrogen systems; integration of hydrogen into renewable energy networks; and safety, monitoring, and digital management of hydrogen production and storage infrastructure.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
