About this Research Topic
The energy crisis, environmental pollution, and global warming have become urgent challenges shared by all mankind in the 21st century. Hydrogen is a kind of clean energy, which has the advantages of high energy density and no pollution during utilization. It is considered an attractive solution to address three urgent challenges and will occupy an important position in the future energy pattern. In the process of developing a low-carbon economy, hydrogen can achieve a smooth transition between fossil energy and renewable energy systems. Chemistry is closely related to the production, storage, transportation, and utilization of hydrogen. Therefore, this Research Topic is organized to focus on the latest research progress about chemistry in hydrogen production and utilization. Scholars from different fields such as coal, petroleum, chemical industry, and environment are welcome to submit their articles to this section.
Although hydrogen seems like a perfect solution to the energy crisis and climate change, there are many problems that remain to be solved. For example, how to produce hydrogen at low cost, high efficiency, large scale, low pollution, and low carbon emission? What is the best way for low-cost, high-density, and safe hydrogen storage? How do we select hydrogen utilization modes in different industries such as power generation, chemical industry, aerospace, etc? To fulfill these gaps, this Research Topic in Frontiers offers a perfect platform for scholars to express their opinions.
The areas covered by this section include but are not limited to the following topics:
• Electrochemical hydrogen production
• Hydrogen production from fossil fuels
• Coal/biomass hydrogen blending combustion
• Hydrogen-based chemical products
• Hydrogen safety
• Hydrogen storage
• Chemical reaction kinetics
• Technology and equipment research and development
