Master degree in Materials Science

OBJECTIVES: 1) development of new materials and processes to optimize the storage of hydrogen as an energy carrier for stationary and mobile applications; 2) Solid state hydrogen storage from renewable sources; 3) Integration with hydrogen fuel cells; 4) integration with Phase Change Materials (PCM)

APPROACHES: Development of advanced materials: complex hydrides and intermetallics with high H2 gravimetric density. Study of: phase transformation; non-equilibrium phase diagram calculations; Life Cycle Analisys (LCA). Work done in collaboration with PhD students.
