Abstract
Materials play a key role in whether a hydrogen-based energy economy, with its promise of clean, sustainable energy, will become a reality. Materials will be crucial in the production, distribution, storage, and utilization of hydrogen with the number of materials interacting with hydrogen being a key challenge.
