Review article on High Entropy Alloys for Hydrogen Storage is published in a high impact journal

In collaboration with a research group from one of the Max-Planck Institutes in Germany, Prof. Guilherme Zepon from DEMa/PPGCEM/UFSCar published a review article on High Entropy Alloys for Hydrogen Storage in the scientific journal Energy & Environmental Science, a high-impact journal of the Royal Society of Chemistry (Impact factor = 38.5). The first author of the article, MSc. Felipe Marques, held his master's degree at PPG-CEM-UFSCar under the supervision of Prof. Zepon in this research topic and is currently a doctoral candidate at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany, under the supervision of Dr. Michael Felderhoff, also co-author of the article. Hydrogen storage is a key issue for using hydrogen as an energy carrier, which is one of the main strategies to reduce fossil fuel consumption and develop a society based on clean and renewable energy. High entropy alloys belong to a new class of materials that has been studied for hydrogen storage only in recent years. The article presents the state of the art of what has been done in this area to date and brings perspectives and opportunities for the future. This work is part of the research project “Design of high entropy alloys for hydrogen storage applications” funded by the Serrapilheira Institute and coordinated by Prof. Zepon, which has been developed in collaboration with several international research groups, including Dr. Felderhoff's group at the Max-Planck Institute. The article was published as open access and can be read at https://doi.org/10.1039/D1EE01543E.
