Aims & Scope

Aims:

Advances in Hydrogen Science and Technology (AHST) is a gold open access, peer-reviewed journal that aims to be a premier platform for disseminating cutting-edge research and innovative findings across hydrogen science and technology. This journal seeks to bridge fundamental research and real-world engineering applications, fostering a multidisciplinary dialogue among scientists, engineers, and industry practitioners engaged in hydrogen-related research. It is published quarterly online by Scilight Press.

Scope:

Hydrogen Production: Exploration of innovative hydrogen-generation technologies, including hydrogen production from natural gas and coal via gasification, photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, and biological hydrogen-producing processes. High-quality studies on water electrolysis and geological hydrogen extraction are especially encouraged.

Hydrogen Storage: Research advances in hydrogen storage technologies supported by renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and geothermal energy. Topics cover solid-state hydrogen-storage materials, compressed-gas storage, cryogenic liquid-hydrogen systems, and underground hydrogen-storage solutions.

Hydrogen Transport: Studies addressing hydrogen transportation with pipeline steel and other advanced innovative materials. This scope includes cryogenic liquid hydrogen storage, ammonia-based hydrogen carriers, and Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHCs). We welcome evolving research targeting cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and safety challenges for hydrogen distribution coupled with electricity and heat delivery.

Hydrogen Applications: Fundamental and applied research on deploying hydrogen within diverse engineering systems. We invite studies reporting existing practical hydrogen applications as well as proposals for novel, undeveloped hydrogen-utilization scenarios across the hydrogen economy.

Hydrogen-Related Materials and Systems: Fundamental material research, system integration, performance evaluation, safety assessment, and lifecycle analysis for the full hydrogen value chain.
