Intermetallic Compounds for Hydrogen Storage: Current Status and Future Perspectives.

Intermetallic compounds are an emerging class of materials with intriguing hydrogen activation and storage capabilities garnering attention for their application in low-temperature hydrogen storage and metal hydride batteries. However, none of the existing intermetallic compounds have met the gravimetric hydrogen storage capacity target of 5.5 wt.

Effect of Heat Treatment on the Material Property and Cell Viability of Wire Arc Additively Manufactured Ti6Al4 V.

Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) holds promise for producing medium to large industrial components. Application of WAAM in the manufacturing of biomedical materials has not yet been evaluated. The current study addresses two key research questions: first, the suitability of the WAAMed Ti6Al4V alloy for biomedical applications, and second, the effect of Ti6Al4V's constituents (α and β phases) on the cell viability.
