H. Passos has published 56 scientific articles, including 4 critical reviews: 2 on Green Chem journal (IF 11.03) [1 classified as a Highly Cited Paper, Web of Science], 1 on Crit Rev Environ Sci Technol journal (IF 11.75), and 1 on Curr Opin Green Sustain Chem (IF 8.84). All 56 articles were published in JCR SCI journals, counting with +1825 citations and an h-index of 23 ( Scopus on November 2023). She has published in several high IF journals, namely Angew Chem Int Ed (IF 16.82), Chem Eng J (IF 16.74), Green Chem (IF 11.03), ACS Sustain Chem Eng (IF 9.22) and Sep Purif Technol (IF 9.14), with an average journal IF of 7.64. She is the first author in 16 papers, corresponding author in 7, and worked with 131 different co-authors with diverse affiliations and internationally recognized as leading scientists in green solvents field, namely H. Ohno (Japan), R.D. Rogers (United States), I. Billard (France) and J.A.P. Coutinho (Portugal). Moreover, she has contributed with +150 oral and posters communications and 2 plenary/invited lectures in national and international conferences. H. Passos supervise(d) 1 post-doctoral researcher, 3 PhD, 9 MCs (3 international) and 9 BCs students. H. Passos was PI of one international Bilateral Cooperation with France and Co-PI of another with Brazil. Currently she is the PI of one FCT R&D project, PlatILPlus, aiming the recycling and recovery of platinum group metals and rare earth elements from spent automotive catalytic converters, and team member of a European project under HORIZON programme. H. Passos was guest editor of one special issue and is reviewer on several multidisciplinary journals.
