Ltd.10.26689/jcer.v9i8.12050ArticleExploration on the Optimization of Hydrogen Energy Teaching Content in College Chemistry Courseshttps://artdesignp.com/journal/JCER/9/8/10.26689/jcer.v9i8.12050LiWei2025982025-09-17With the rising global demand for energy and growing awareness of environmental sustainability, hydrogen energy has emerged as a promising clean and efficient alternative. Supported by national policies, both basic and applied research in hydrogen and hydrogen energy have seen significant advancements in recent years. Reflecting these developments, the teaching of “hydrogen element and hydrogen energy” in college level inorganic chemistry has gradually expanded. In the context of the new era, there is an urgent need to reform and enrich this teaching content to cultivate students’ comprehensive abilities and align with the country’s evolving demand for talent in the energy sector. This paper analyzes current challenges in the teaching of hydrogen energy within college chemistry curricula and proposes targeted strategies to optimize instructional content. The goal is to offer practical insights and references for educators seeking to improve the effectiveness and relevance of hydrogen energy education.
