Developing safe, reliable, compact , and cost-efectivehydrogen storage lechnologies is one of the mosttechnically challenging obstaclcs to the widespreaduse of hydrogen as a form of cnergy medium. In thefield of hydrogen storage matcrials, mctal hydrides, complex hydrides, porous materials, and clathratehydrates have been researched widely. Despite the enormous effort being put in researchactivities, we are still far froam reaching a widespreadand safe use of hydrogen as our primary energysource.

The aim of the spocial issue is to accelerate thedevelopment of hydrogen storage materials and topromote an open exchange of acadlemie infotmation.

Manuscript requirements: original research papers or reviews; Accepted after my peer review.

Scope: Including but not limited to alloy hydrogen storage materials, physical adsorption hydrogen storage materials, nano-hydrogen storage materials and other related research progress.
