As a core domain in global energy transition and low-carbon development, hydrogen energy holds significant importance for supporting industrial innovation and talent cultivation through disciplinary development. Currently, universities and research institutions worldwide are actively exploring pathways to establish hydrogen energy disciplinary systems. Based on systematic research into hydrogen energy discipline development, this paper examines the current state of such development in China and explores practical approaches centered on talent cultivation and curriculum system construction. Analyzing aspects such as disciplinary layout, curriculum systems, research platforms, and faculty development, it elucidates achievements in cultivating specialized talent, driving technological innovation, and serving industrial growth through examining disciplinary development objectives, innovative teaching methods, and resource integration. Simultaneously, it dissects existing challenges and proposes targeted optimization strategies, aiming to provide theoretical references and practical insights for China's high-quality hydrogen energy discipline development. It identifies existing issues in current discipline development, including insufficient interdisciplinary integration, scarcity of practical resources, and room for improvement in internationalization. Recommendations are provided for the next phase of hydrogen energy discipline development and exploration in China,offering guidance for the sustainable advancement of this field and driving the high-quality development of China'shydrogen energy industry.
