'Engineering materials for hydrogen storage' by Professor Fei Yang.

The establishment of a strong low emissions economy, to which hydrogen contributes, is a very real opportunity that is within reach. Closing the hydrogen economy value chain (production, storage/transport, and application) requires an effective hydrogen storage method. Solid-state hydrogen storage is a preferable option compared to compressed hydrogen gas or liquefied hydrogen, due to low-pressure requirements and safety. Hydrogen storage materials need to be engineered and integrated to a storage tank to match corresponding hydrogen-powered fuel cell technology working conditions for specific practical applications.

In his professorial lecture, Professor Fei Yang will discuss hydrogen storage challenges from a materials perspective and talk about his new research area in developing high entropy alloys for safe and solid-state hydrogen storage technology. In addition, he will provide a brief introduction to his other cutting-edge materials research.

Do not miss this opportunity to gain an understanding of how materials could advance hydrogen storage technology, to contribute to establishing a low emissions economy for Aotearoa New Zealand.

This 45-minute public lecture will be held at the Gallagher Academy of Performing Arts at the University of Waikato in Hamilton, starting at 5.45pm. Ticket scanning and Opus Bar will be open from 5pm.

Free parking is available on campus via Gate 2B, Knighton Road, Hamilton from 4.30pm.
