The project is in line with EC priorities European Green Deal and an Economy in regards of clean hydrogen, fuel cells and other alternative fuels (
https://commission.europa.eu/strategy-and-policy/priorities-2019-2024_en). The catalysts for hydrogen electrochemical evolution from aqueous solutions, and methanol/ethanol electrochemical oxidation and applying in fuel cells will be investigated in this project (Sustainable Development Goals; goal #7).
A combination of unique physical and chemical properties of Re-alloys renders this metal promising for using in high-technology sectors in aviation, nuclear power engineering, electronics, biomedicine, heterogeneous catalysis.
Several
key aspects can determine the interest in the study of electrodeposition of Re-superalloys: they exhibit either soft or hard magnetic properties depending on alloy composition; have potential to be used in the microdevices MEMS/NEMS.
