Hydrogen Materials Group

The Hydrogen Materials Group (HMG) is part of the Department of Metallurgy and Materials. The group was formed in early 2005, when the Applied Alloy Chemistry Group split into the HMG and the Magnets Group.


Major research areas:

  • Development of novel materials for solid-state hydrogen storage
  • Fabrication of dense-metal membranes for hydrogen purification
  • Use of hydrogen in the microstructural processing of materials
  • H2 energy demonstration projects (e.g. PROTIUM Hydrogen Canal Boat)
