Adopting clean and green energy technologies has been on the rise in recent times since the launching of Earth Shot and Hydrogen Shot initiatives by the US Department of Energy. Hydrogen mission projects are in full swing worldwide in promoting hydrogen-enabled technologies for sustainable transportation and residential living. The stringent technical targets set forth in hydrogen production, hydrogen storage, and hydrogen conversion demand innovative approaches in low-temperature electrolysis with toxic-free materials, high gravimetric and volumetric storage density via light weight materials' development and low-cost membranes, electrolytes and electrodes in fuel cells. Advanced manufacturing of the materials via 3D and 4D printing technologies, AI/ML and combinatorial synthesis and characterization will push forward the society to widely embrace hydrogen-enabled systems for sustainability. This Research Topic will seek Review articles and Original Research papers from various facets of hydrogen production, storage, and conversion to realize the hydrogen economy.
This proposal addresses the problems related to implementing hydrogen technologies that can partially substitute or replace the current fossil fuel-based energy applications. To enhance the usage of hydrogen energy in practice, the storage of atomic hydrogen in solid state material is of paramount value since the volumetric and gravimetric storage densities are greater in solids when compared to both liquid and gaseous hydrogen. To address the hydrogen-enabled infrastructure to its fullest potential, the systemic approach in developing novel materials, state-of-the-art characterization, and advanced manufacturing processes needs to be explored. This article collection welcomes submissions examining novel materials and hybrid structures: perovskite, Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs), carbonaceous, polymeric, reactive complex hydrides, metallic alloys and their reversible hydrogen storage behavior. Research papers related to design and optimization of hydrogen storage in a practical system are also encouraged for submission.
This Research Topic seeks research contributions in the form of Original Research articles and Reviews on the following topics but not limited to reversible hydrogen storage characteristics of:
• Metallic alloys and metal hydrides and their combination thereof
• Crystalline and quasicrystalline materials
• Complex and composite materials and hydrides
• Perovskite-type structures
• Carbonaceous and organic polymeric nanostructures
• Magnesium-based complex nanostructures and nanocatalysts
• Reactive Complex Hydrides
• AI/ML and 3D/4D printing in advanced manufacturing of hydrogen storage materials
Keywords:
Metallic Hydrides, Advanced Manufacturing, Complex Composite Hydrides, Perovskites, Carbonaceous
Important Note:
All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
