High impact applications, properties and synthesis of exciting new materials

Journal of Materials Chemistry Hydrogen storage & generation theme issue

09 May 2008

With the ever decreasing reserves of fossil fuels and the increasing threat of global warming, ever more research is being directed towards alternative energy sources. Hydrogen has sparked a great deal of interest in this sense, particularly for the transport industry. As well as producing hydrogen, storing it is one of the greatest challenges. This issue of Journal of Materials Chemistry focuses on both these themes.

Guest edited by John T. S. Irvine of St Andrews University, UK, this excellent issue contains a highlight, 4 feature articles and 7 papers that discuss some of the innovative new research going on in this exciting field. Authors include Duncan Gregory, Craig Grimes and Raymond Gorte.
