Summary

The global transition toward low-carbon and sustainable energy systems has significantly increased interest in hydrogen as a clean and versatile energy carrier. Green hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources is widely recognized as a promising solution for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing energy security. Recent advances in water electrolysis, photocatalytic hydrogen production, electrocatalytic materials, and renewable energy technologies have accelerated the development of hydrogen-based energy systems. However, challenges related to efficiency, cost reduction, materials performance, system integration, operational optimization, and large-scale deployment remain critical barriers to commercialization.


This Special Issue aims to provide a forum for researchers and engineers to share recent advances in hydrogen energy technologies, with particular emphasis on optimization, digitalization, materials innovation, and integration within sustainable energy systems. Original research articles, review papers, and case studies addressing both fundamental and applied aspects are welcome.


Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
· Green hydrogen production technologies;
· Water electrolysis and electrolyzer performance enhancement;
· Photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical hydrogen production;
· Electrocatalysts and advanced materials for hydrogen generation;
· Renewable energy-driven hydrogen systems;
· Hydrogen storage, transportation, and utilization;
· Digitalization and intelligent monitoring of hydrogen systems;
· Artificial intelligence and optimization methods in energy applications;
· Thermodynamic, exergy, and techno-economic analyses;
· Integrated renewable-hydrogen energy systems;
· Sustainability assessment and life-cycle analysis of hydrogen technologies;
· Emerging trends and future pathways for hydrogen energy.


We invite researchers, engineers, and industry practitioners to contribute their latest findings and perspectives to advance the development of efficient and sustainable hydrogen energy systems.
