Collaborating with Distinguished Colleagues to Advance Research on Sustainable Energy Solutions
Felipe Fantuzzi, member of the KAIROS initiative at the University of Kent, has taken on the role of co-editor for a significant issue of Frontiers in Chemistry. The special issue, titled New Materials and Processes for Hydrogen Storage and Transformation: Syntheses, Characterization, and Mechanistic Advancements, focuses on pioneering research that could dramatically shift the landscape of hydrogen-based energy technologies.
In collaboration with esteemed colleagues, including Bojana Ginovska of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Felipe is overseeing a series of contributions that highlight the synthesis, characterization, and mechanistic understanding of innovative materials for hydrogen storage and energy transformation. Bojana, a noted expert in hydrogen catalysis and a former colleague and mentor of Felipe during his stay at PNNL, brings a deep understanding of the subject matter and a collaborative spirit to the editorial team. Their previous work together has laid a strong foundation for this current project, merging their complementary expertise in computational chemistry and practical applications in hydrogen technology.
The special issue will cover a broad range of topics essential to the development of sustainable energy solutions, including advanced materials for solid and liquid hydrogen carriers, long and short-duration energy storage systems, and catalysts for hydrogen interconversion. Additionally, it will explore novel approaches for extracting design principles and tunable parameters that can enhance the performance of new materials and processes.
Contributions to the issue include Original Research, Review, Mini Review, and Perspective articles, each providing crucial insights into the most recent advancements in hydrogen technology. This collective effort is not only a platform for cutting-edge research but also a testament to the power of collaborative scientific endeavours in addressing some of the most pressing challenges in energy sustainability.
Please reach out to us if you are considering submitting a manuscript for this special issue. The deadline for manuscript submissions is 09 August 2024.
