Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design Framework Based on a Prospective Life Cycle Assessment: Lessons Learned from a Nano-Titanium Dioxide Case Study

Safe-and-sustainable-by-design (SSbD) is a concept that takes a systems approach by integrating safety, sustainability, and functionality throughout a product’s the life cycle. This paper proposes a framework based on a prospective life cycle assessment for early safety and sustainability assessment. The framework’s purpose is to identify...

Kinetic and thermodynamic aspects of Mg and Mg-Ti hydride nanomaterials

Reliable and affordable energy storage represents a bottleneck in a scenario where renewable energy sources become prominent on the energy market. With its high potential energy density and the natural abundance of the element, hydrogen gas is an attractive energy storage medium. But its gaseous nature, its high explosive potential and...
