1 · In this paper, gallium was used as alloying element to improve hydrogen storage properties of magnesium. Therefore, Mg– x wt% Ga ( x = 5, 10, 25, 50) binary alloys were prepared by induction melting method. The microstructure and phase composition of Mg–Ga alloy were analyzed using X-ray diffractometer and scanning electron microscope.

gallium: US$225 million. germanium: US$39 million. The market for the two critical minerals may be smaller compared to other major metals, such as copper and lithium, but their use in high-growth, strategic industries, including defense, hi-tech and green energy, give them significant market leverage. And, in turn, China''s monopoly of

1. Introduction. Energy consumption in the world has increased gradually and significantly due to the ever-expanding demand for human activity. In this light, to decrease the gap between energy demand and supply, and to enhance the energy efficiency of current system, thermal energy storage (TES) is a promising candidate [[1],

Its generation (e.g. conversion from water) along with its storage has acquired much attention owing to its high energy densities, abundance, lightweight and cleanness [1, [4], [5], [6]]. Moreover, the minimam ignition energy of H 2 is only 0.02 mWs, much lower than other materials such as 0.29 mWs for methane and 0.24 mWs for petrol

The GaN-based supercapacitors are assembled and deliver outstanding charge storage capabilities at 140 °C. Surprisingly, 90% retention is maintained after 50 000 cycles. This

1. Introduction. Gallium (Ga), a soft and silvery-blue metal, was discovered in 1875 by the French chemist Paul-Émile Lecoq de Boisbaudran (Moskalyk, 2003).With an average crustal abundance of 17 ppm, Ga is considered a trace metal (Redlinger et al., 2015).This element exhibits an extraordinarily wide temperature range

However, there is still a gap in wafer‐scale GaN single‐crystal integrated electrodes applied in the energy storage field. Herein, Si‐doped GaN nanochannel with gallium oxynitride (GaON) layer on a centimeter scale (denoted by GaN NC) is reported.
