Mechanistic insights into the solvent assisted thermal regeneration of spent graphite and its upcycling into Dual graphite battery

Shuvajit Ghosh, Madhushri Bhar, Udita Bhattacharjee, Kali Prasad Yalamanchili, Satheesh Krishnamurthy, Surendra K. Martha

This work investigates the underlying mechanisms behind surface cleaning and structural reconstruction of spent graphite during ‘solvent assisted thermal regeneration’ process and upcycles the recovered graphite into a ‘Dual-graphite battery’. The ‘waste to wealth’ approach is upscalable, cost-effective, industrially feasible, and represents a viable pathway of graphite re/upcycling.

Chiral supramolecular polymer functionalized two-dimensional transition metal-based catalyst for enhancing the electrochemical water splitting via spin-polarized charge transfer

Utkarsh Utkarsh, Sai Rachana Pramatha, Anujit Balo, Utpal Kumar Gosh, Kotagiri Venkata Rao, Koyel Banerjee Ghosh

Augmentation of the electrocatalytic activity of sulfur-doped Ni, Fe-containing layered double hydroxide for oxygen evolution reaction using chiral supramolecular polymer functionalization through chiral induced spin selectivity (CISS).

Synergistic Coassembly of Folic Acid-Based Supramolecular Polymer with a Covalent Polymer Toward Fabricating Functional Antibacterial Biomaterials

Ipsita Sahu, Jaya Verma, Ashis Kumar Bera, Shreya Pande, Aashwini Bhavsar, Falguni Pati, Priyadarshi Chakraborty

This study develops a self-healing, biocompatible, injectable gel by co-assembling folic acid (supramolecular polymer) with polyvinyl alcohol, drastically enhancing its mechanical strength. The hydrogel shows a 3674-fold improvement in complex modulus, excellent toughness, durability, and 3D printability. Combined with silver nanoparticles, it exhibits antibacterial activity and high catalytic efficiency. The material has potential applications in tissue engineering and wound healing.
