Research and Highlights

Development of Novel sodium-ion battery (NIB) cathode material

Dr. Rohit Gaddam’s lab from Chemical Engineering Department as developed a novel sodium-ion battery (NIB) cathode material NaFe1.93Al0.07(PO4)(SO4) that outperforms current benchmarks in terms of energy density (372 Wh/Kg) and durability for such NASICON-type cathode.

Utilization of industrial waste as photocatalyst

Recent collaborative research work carried out by Dr. Sankar Chakma, Chemical Engineering, IISER Bhopal and Dr. S K Sonkar (MNIT Jaipur) demonstrated the utilization of industrial waste as photocatalysts to produce carbonate to Acetic Acid under various monochromatic light sources.

Baylis Hillman orchestrated Protein Aminothiol Labelling

4. Research group of Dr Dimpy Kalia, Department of Chemistry developed BHoPAL (Baylis Hillman orchestrated Protein Aminothiol Labelling) technology to link chemical tags to proteins for facilitating drug development.

Electrooxidation of Urea towards sustainable energy and wastewater treatment

On the journey toward sustainable energy and wastewater treatment, urea electrooxidation is paving the way to cleaner energy solutions. Research group of Dr Sankar Chakma, Department of Chemical Engineer , IISER Bhopal published the research entitled ‘Physical insight into the enhanced urea electrooxidation using Ni and Fe-based LDH, LDO, and hydroxides under different dissolved gas saturation conditions in electrolyte’ in International Journal of Hydrogen Energy (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhydene.2024.08.380).
