A selection of suitable materials is critical for the safety of any hydrogen application. Most engineers know that hydrogen embrittlement and other hydrogen-specific damaging mechanisms of various metallic materials represent serious threats. Nevertheless, a handful of people have understood the highly complex physics of hydrogen-material interactions to predict and prevent hydrogen embrittlement and other hydrogen damage. Blending hydrogen into existing natural gas pipelines and hydrogen transport is now being actively considered as part of the decarbonization strategy in Europe, Australia, and the United States. The key impediment is the possibility of hydrogen embrittlement and hydrogen-induced cracking of steel pipelines. In 2019, Professor Milos B. Djukic from the University of Belgrade in Serbia published a comprehensive critical review article on “The synergistic action and interplay of hydrogen embrittlement mechanisms in steels and iron: Localized plasticity and decohesion“, which established the unified HELP+HEDE model for the synergistic action of hydrogen embrittlement mechanisms in steel and iron, proposed by the same group of authors in 2015, and now widely accepted. This article reached 400+ citations. It is the most cited article in the Engineering Fracture Mechanics journal published in 2019. Download this article here: https://lnkd.in/gdvsn_w In this free webinar by Mission Hydrogen by David Wenger, Prof. Milos B. Djukic summarizes the current state of the art in hydrogen embrittlement understanding, and he will explain: ✓ What is hydrogen embrittlement? ✓ Hydrogen embrittlement mechanisms in steel and their synergy. ✓ Hydrogen embrittlement effects on mechanical properties. ✓ The problems of hydrogen embrittlement in pipelines transporting hydrogen-gas mixture. ✓ How can hydrogen embrittlement be predicted and avoided? ✓ Summary about materials, hydrogen applications, hydrogen embrittlement, and safety. - University of Belgrade - Faculty of Mechanical Engineering University of Belgrade - ESIS Technical Committee TC21 Hydrogen Embrittlement and Transport #hydrogenembrittlement #hydrogen #oilandgas #gas #mechanicalengineering #energy #engineering #scienceandtechnology https://lnkd.in/ddecdui3

ASAP Paper of the day: "Photocatalytic Extraction of Uranium from Seawater Using Covalent Organic Framework Nanowires" As our society transforms, the separation of valuable rare materials from waste streams and end-of-life location like seawater is become extremely important to close the resource loops. In this JACS paper Uranium is extracted from seawater-like conditions. More efforts in this direction, please! #Separation, #ASAPpaper

HYDROGEN PEROXIDE...FORGOTTEN BUT EXTREMELY USEFUL ! Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound with the formula H2O2. In its pure form, it is a very pale blue liquid that is slightly more viscous than water. It is used as an oxidizer, bleaching agent, and antiseptic, usually as a dilute solution (3%–6% by weight) in water for consumer use, and in higher concentrations for industrial use. Concentrated hydrogen peroxide, or "high-test peroxide", decomposes explosively when heated and has been used both as a monopropellant and an oxidizer in rocketry. See EcoRocket project : The rocket has a length of 13.2 m, a diameter of 1.2 m and a launch weight of 5,000 kg with the ability to launch into low orbit at 240 km, up to 10 nanosatellites of the Cubesat type. The first two stages of the rocket operate on a water-based fuel, the vapors generated by the engines of the first two stages being completely ecological. The third stage, which starts above the earth's atmosphere at an altitude of 50 km, operates with hydrogen peroxide concentration 90% and kerosene.

The ARSENIX project, led by C2TN researchers, has received funding from FCT to develop cutting-edge solutions for removing toxic metals from water in Portuguese rice fields. Using iron oxide nanoparticles with chelating properties, the team will test innovative methods to effectively remove harmful metals, such as arsenic, from water systems. After an initial testing phase at the Campus Tecnológico e Nuclear of Instituto Superior Técnico, rice fields will serve as natural laboratories for real-world application. In collaboration with the Universities of Messina and Sassari (Italy), this project represents a major step forward in water decontamination, driving more sustainable and cost-effective water treatment solutions. #TecnicoLisboa #Tecnico_Loures #ULisboa #C2TN #WaterRemediation #WaterDecontamination #InnovationInScience #Sustainability

Tetrazole-grafted HTPB offers a promising solution for energizing hydrocarbon binders with high specific impulse. This concept can now be applied to real-time rocket propulsion systems using a straightforward and efficient synthetic technique to graft tetrazole molecules onto HTPB.

Always a very interesting area of energy generation! Compared to low-temperature superconductors, HTS has the potential to access stronger magnetic fields, leading to smaller machines that are cheaper and faster to build. In the 1980s, a class of HTS materials called REBCO (rare earth barium copper oxide) were found to be capable of carrying very high current densities at temperatures up to 20 Kelvin, but because they are brittle, it took nearly three decades for researchers to make wires from them!!!
