FeTi alloys are efficient hydrogen storage mediums but their synthesis using high-purity metals poses considerable environmental sustainability concerns. Here, industrial scraps of iron and titanium are used to synthesise FeTi with high hydrogen storage capacities and tunable thermodynamic properties.
