Thiazolylazo p-cresol (TAC) was studied as a masking agent for the determination of Bi in rich Ni and Cu alloys by hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (HGAAS). In the presence of TAC, Bi/Ni and Bi/Cu ratios up to 1:160 000 and 1:16 000, respectively, were found to be tolerable. No buffering was necessary once the masking agent was effective even in very acid medium. Limits of detection at the low mug g(-1) range were reached and the accuracy of the procedure was confirmed by the good concordance between found and certified values in the analysis of certified reference materials (CRM).

This study introduces an innovative approach to alloy design by experimentally validating the semi-empirical concept of Griessen and Driessen, which predicts the hydrogen affinity of solid solutions. The work focuses on designing and synthesizing four equiatomic high-entropy alloys (HEAs) with compositions tailored to exhibit highly endothermic enthalpies of solution and formation, resulting in resistance to hydrogen absorption. Unlike conventional studies that prioritize hydrogen storage capacity, this research uniquely targets alloys optimized for minimal hydrogen interaction, addressing critical needs in hydrogen storage and transportation technologies prone to hydrogen embrittlement.

This paper presents the preparation of the parental experimental alloy, featuring a standard composition of TiYZrFeNiMn, via the vacuum induction melting technique. Subsequently, the TiYZrFeNiMn alloy, with an addition of 2 wt% Ni, underwent mechanical ball milling to yield a TiFe-based composite for experimental purposes. The results of the experimental tests indicate that the composite alloy's phase composition comprises the TiFe primary phase, with a minor quantity of ZrMn phase segregated on the surface of the primary TiFe phase, as well as Ni phase.

There has been a marked increase in interest in high-temperature superconductors over the past few years, sparked by their potential to revolutionize multiple fields, including energy generation and transportation. A particularly promising avenue of exploration has emerged in the form of ternary superhydrides, compounds composed of hydrogen along with two other rare-earth elements. Our investigation focuses on the search for Y-Th-H ternary compounds; employing an evolutionary search methodology complemented by electron-phonon calculations reveals a stable superhydride, 6̅2-YThH, capable of exhibiting a critical temperature ( ) as high as 222 K at 200 GPa along a few low- novel hydrides.

In this article, we provide an overview of hydrogen storage materials, taking our previous results as examples. Towards the end of the paper, we present a case study in order to highlight the effects of substitutional alloying, compositional additives, and nanostructuring on the hydrogen sorption properties of magnesium-based intermetallics. Specifically, partial substitution of Mg by Li and d-elements by p-elements leads to structural changes, inducing disorder and the formation of high-entropy alloys.
