Team synthesizes multiscale multi-principal element alloy for future energy conversion and storage applications

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts and the University of Pennsylvania successfully synthesized a multiscale multi-principal element alloy (MPEA) composed of nickel, iron, and manganese through an integrated processing framework of DIW-based additive manufacturing combined with chemical dealloying. The work provides a new pathway to accelerate both the discovery and the production of novel multiscale MPEAs and offers great potential for energy conversion and storage applications.
