Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydrogen production and storage have been well considered as the essential stages in the hydrogen economy. Catalyst doping has been a research hotspot as an easy, low-cost, and efficient way to accelerate the process of hydrogen production and storage. This Special Issue of Catalysts will cover the recent advancements in catalysts in hydrogen production and solid-state hydrogen storage. The Guest Editors encourage submissions in the following areas:
- The development of electrocatalysts for alkaline and acidic water splitting;
- The catalysts in chemical hydrogen production;
- The metal hydrides used for hydrogen storage and production;
- Complex hydrides for hydrogen storage and production;
- Catalyzing mechanisms in hydrogen production and storage systems.
If you would like to submit papers for publication in this Special Issue or have any questions, please contact the in-house Editor, Ms. Georgie Guan (georgie.guan@mdpi.com).

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. Catalysts 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 2200 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.
