About
Alessandro Becci’s research lies at the critical intersection of sustainable materials science and industrial ecology, with a primary focus on developing rare earth element (REE)-free alternatives for permanent magnets. His most-cited work, a 2023 Life Cycle Assessment comparing sintered ferrite and Mn–Al–C magnets, provides the first comprehensive environmental benchmark for REE-free magnet technologies. By quantifying the full cradle-to-grave impacts of these alternatives, Becci directly addresses the volatility and criticality of REE supply chains—a key concern for the EU’s raw materials strategy. His research demonstrates that Mn–Al–C magnets, while still in development, could offer a lower environmental footprint than traditional REE-based magnets, guiding future material design and policy. With 26 citations already for this seminal paper, his work is rapidly shaping the discourse on sustainable magnet production. Becci’s contributions are particularly vital for students and researchers in green energy, electric mobility, and circular economy, as he provides the rigorous, data-driven foundation needed to transition away from critical raw materials without compromising performance.
