Mr. Keabetsoe Manosa  study investigates the hydrogen-storage potential of AB₂-type cluster systems based on Magnesium–Titanium (Mg–Ti) and Magnesium–Nickel (Mg–Ni), focusing on their economic feasibility, effectiveness, safety profile, and proximity to optimal thermodynamic and physicochemical conditions for maximum hydrogen retention. The research evaluates key material parameters including enthalpy of formation, activation energy, hydride stability, charge distribution, atomic radii compatibility, and lattice behavior under varying temperature–pressure conditions. Comparative computational analyses reveal how alloying magnesium with transition metals enhances hydrogen diffusion pathways, reduces desorption barriers, and influences reversible storage capacity. The Mg–Ti system is examined for its lightweight composition, favorable thermodynamic window, and potential cost efficiency, while the Mg–Ni system is assessed for catalytic enhancement, structural robustness, and effective hydrogen absorption–desorption kinetics. The study integrates principles of materials thermodynamics, solid-state chemistry, and cluster theory to determine which system aligns more closely with optimal storage metrics required for scalable applications in clean-energy technologies. Overall, the analysis provides insight into the tunability of Mg-based alloys, highlighting their comparative strengths and limitations in meeting industrial hydrogen-storage demands and contributing to the broader pursuit of high-performance, safe, and economically viable energy-storage materials.

Dr. Debdeep Bhattacharjee | Chemical Engineering
| Young Scientist Award

Reliance Industries Limited, R&D | India

Dr. Debdeep Bhattacharjee research portfolio demonstrates a strong foundation in multiphase flow dynamics, magnetohydrodynamics, and ferrofluidic systems, emphasizing the coupling of magnetic fields with interfacial fluid behavior at micro and meso scales. The work focuses on understanding and manipulating ferrofluid droplet deformation, coalescence, and wettability under varying magnetic field configurations, contributing to advancements in droplet-based microfluidics, lab-on-chip technologies, and tunable surface engineering. Investigations into the deformation dynamics of ferrofluid drops with field-dependent local magnetization have revealed critical insights into magneto-capillary interactions and droplet morphology control. The exploration of magnetowetting and magneto-dewetting phenomena has expanded the understanding of field-induced wetting transitions on hydrophobic and textured substrates. Complementary studies on compound droplet dynamics, passive droplet sorting in microchannels, and topology optimization of packed-bed microreactors integrate computational fluid dynamics (CFD), topology optimization, and non-Newtonian flow modeling to enhance microreactor design and process intensification. The research employs both analytical modeling and high-fidelity numerical simulations using COMSOL Multiphysics and Ansys Fluent, bridging theoretical and applied aspects of magnetically driven flows. Collectively, these contributions advance the frontiers of microfluidic transport, smart interface control, and ferrohydrodynamic applications for next-generation energy, biomedical, and process engineering technologies.
