Chemistry: Innovative Catalysts for Renewable Hydrogen Production and Utilization

Recently, the interest towards hydrogen production and utilization is increasing more and more. Due to the several environmental issues raised by the scientific community, the identification of renewable energy sources is become an urgent need. In this scenario, the employment of hydrogen as renewable feedstock in fuel cells devices is drawing relevant attention. Thus, the efficient H2 production from sustainable sources is highly desired. In many cases, however, the obstacles towards the development of sustainable technologies for hydrogen generation lie in the identification of highly active and selective catalysts, which are expected assuring considerable durability with time on stream and relevant yields towards the desired product. The present Collection covers all the fields related to the development of innovative catalysts for hydrogen production devoted to chemical as well as fuel applications. Thus, reviews and scientific articles concerning reforming, water gas shift, methanation, hydrogasification, electrolysis and fuel cells-based processes are welcome.
