Hydrogen Production, Storage, and Fuel Cell Technologies
This community researches how to generate hydrogen from water and other sources, store it in solid or liquid forms, and convert it back into electricity using fuel cells.
The work centers on three interconnected technical challenges: producing hydrogen via water electrolysis and renewable energy integration, storing it using metal hydrides, ammonia borane, and liquid organic carriers, and utilizing it in proton exchange membrane and solid oxide fuel cells. Recurring methods include catalyst design, life cycle assessment, and system optimization for industrial and grid-scale applications. The research spans the full value chain, from the chemical processes of green hydrogen generation to the engineering of hybrid energy systems that manage power flow and carbon reduction.
The largest share of the community's output is found in hydrogen research, accounting for 31.6% of all hydrogen research tracked, and 14,416 papers here.
The community comprises 30,433 papers, with the highest concentration in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, Fuel, and Journal of Alloys and Compounds.
Recent work focuses on optimizing multi-energy systems with heterogeneous electrolyzers and fuel cells, developing high-performance magnesium-based storage materials, and evaluating the global emissions mitigation potential of planned hydrogen projects.
