Guwahati: Aligning with the priorities of the G20 Summit being hosted by India this 12 months, IIT Guwahati is working in direction of growing reasonably priced, excessive efficiency and environment-friendly power storage and manufacturing techniques which can be additionally sustainable.
The premier institute acknowledged that its researchers are figuring out key motion steps and analysis priorities to contribute in direction of inexperienced progress and sustainable improvement as a significant contribution of the establishment in constructing a sustainable future.
Highlighting the necessity for analysis on sustainability, officiating director of the establishment Prof Parameswar Okay Iyer, mentioned, “The development of inexpensive, high-performance, sustainable, and environmentally friendly energy storage and production systems are of utmost importance in the current scenario where energy demand is ever-increasing.”
In this context, a number of efforts are below manner at IIT Guwahati in direction of attaining sustainable objectives of inexperienced hydrogen era and carbon dioxide sequestration.
Prof. Mohammad Quresh of the division of chemistry, who, alongside along with his analysis group, is engaged on growing Perovskite oxide-based catalysts to generate inexperienced hydrogen.
Elaborating on the affect of this analysis, Prof Qureshi mentioned, “We have progressed significantly in electrolytic water splitting into hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2). Notably, hydrogen is an energy carrier which can be used for various applications in fuel cells and in stationary and portable power generators without any greenhouse gas emissions.”
Head of the Centre for Nanotechnology, Akshai Kumar Alape Seetharam, and his analysis group have formulated environment friendly ‘pincer’ catalytic techniques that remodel industrial/biomass waste into hydrogen and speciality chemical substances.
Associate professor Nageswara Rao Peela alongside along with his analysis group has developed photocatalysts that may convert photo voltaic power into Hydrogen through the use of a man-made photosynthetic system.
