  • Transforming Sustainability with Innovative Catalysts July 14, 2025

    Assistant Professor, Dr Narayanamoorthy Bhuvanendran from the Department of Environmental Science and Engineering has published a research paper titled, Catalytic synergy of PtCo alloy nanoparticles anchored on S, P-doped hierarchical carbon nitrides for efficient and durable oxygen reduction in high-temperature PEMFCs. His research presents a new type of catalyst that could enhance the efficiency and longevity of fuel cells, making them more viable for sustainable energy applications.

    Abstract:

    Intensified electrochemical corrosion under high-temperature and phosphoric acid conditions poses a significant challenge to the catalysts in high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (HT-PEMFCs). Herein, a S, P-doped hierarchical porous carbon nitride (S, P-HCN) supported PtCo alloy catalyst was developed to address this issue. The multilayered porous structure of S, P-HCN ensures high metal dispersion, a large specific surface area, and enhanced mass transfer. The PtCo/S, P-HCN catalyst exhibits remarkable performance, with specific activity (1.27 mA cmPt-2 at 0.80 V), mass activity (0.51 mA µgPt-1 at 0.80 V), and electrochemical active surface area (ECSA) (39.9 m2 g-1Pt), surpassing commercial 20 % Pt/C by 2–3 times. Durability tests over 5000 potential cycles reveal excellent retention of mass activity (84 %) and specific activity (83.2 %) at 0.80 V, with only a minor 14 mV shift in half-wave potential. This enhancement stems from the synergistic effects between PtCo alloy nanoparticles and S, P-HCN, which modulate Pt- electronic structure, strengthen metal-support interactions, and boost catalytic efficiency. Single-cell HT-PEMFC studies demonstrate a peak power density of 377.4 mW cm−2 for PtCo/S, P-HCN, comparable to commercial Pt/C (398 mW cm−2), with reduced voltage degradation at low current densities. This work presents a promising approach for improving cathode materials and advancing HT-PEMFC performance.

    Explanation in Research in Layperson’s Terms:

    The growing demand for green energy has increased the interest in clean, sustainable, and efficient fuel for electricity generation. Hence, hydrogen is one of the promising choices as green energy source, which can be used as a fuel in fuel cell technology. Among various types of fuel cells, proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are the fastest-growing energy technologies, especially in automotive applications, owing to their high-power density and rapid start-up and shutdown capabilities compared to other fuel cell types. PEMFCs are classified by operating temperature into low-temperature (LT-PEMFC) and high-temperature (HT-PEMFC). While LT-PEMFCs (operating at ∼ 80 °C) have advanced significantly, they face challenges such as complex heat and water management and the high cost of producing the required high-purity hydrogen fuel. HT-PEMFCs, operating at 150–200 °C, overcome low-temperature PEMFC limitations with fuel flexibility, simpler design, improved water management, and greater efficiency, while enhancing oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics and diffusion processes. Till to date, Pt/C is the most used catalyst in PEMFCs due to its high activity and stability. However, in HT-PEMFCs, phosphate species from the phosphoric acid electrolyte strongly adsorb onto Pt surfaces, blocking active sites for O2 adsorption and reducing overall cathode performance. To address this bottleneck issues, a novel hybrid support materials with 3D hierarchical porous morphology, high surface area, porosity, and more accessible active sites has been developed which provides distinct benefits over conventional carbon materials for enhancing ORR performance. Their extensive surface area and interconnected pores facilitate better active site distribution and efficient mass transfer during the ORR process and leads to extended fuel cell performance.

    Practical Implementation and Social Implications:

    In this work, we have design and developed the PtCo/S,P-HCN catalyst, through a simple hydrothermal process, constructs a synergistic combination of structural and compositional features that significantly enhance the cathodic ORR performance. The 3D porous architecture with uniformly distributed PtCo nanoparticles and S, P-doped carbon nitride matrix ensures improved Pt utilization, active site accessibility, and effective charge transport. Nitrogen doping (graphitic-N and pyridinic-N) facilitates efficient electron transfer, while heteroatom doping (S and P) optimizes *OOH binding energy, promoting oxygen adsorption and O–O bond cleavage. The interatomic alloy structure of PtCo modulates the Pt d-band center, further boosting ORR kinetics. These combined effects result in superior catalytic activity (SA: 1.268 mA cmPt-2, MA: 0.506 mA µgPt-1, ECSA: 39.9 m2 g-1Pt) and durability, retaining 84 % MA and 83.2 % SA after 5000 cycles with minimal half-wave potential loss (14 mV). In HT-PEMFC tests, it achieved a peak power density of 377.4 mW cm−2, matching commercial Pt/C (398 mW cm−2), while demonstrating greater PA resistance and stability. These findings highlight the synergistic effects of the PtCo/S,P-HCN catalyst and its potential as a robust ORR electrocatalyst for HT-PEMFC applications.

    Prof. Huaneng Su, Jiangsu University, China.

    Future Research Plans:

    Based on the observations from the above research, we plan to further explore modifications to the electronic properties of the catalyst to enhance the surface adsorption of reaction intermediates, thereby improving its electrocatalytic performance for various key electrochemical reactions.

    Brief Abstract of the Research

    Stroke is one of the most significant health problems that aid disability and mortality in functionality of human health, While already there are varies approach, Traditionally and Technical methods developed to help patient overcome these challenges, common system to treat and help patients recovers from this are, using Local therapy approach, using EEG (electroencephalogram) and or using the BCI (Brain Computer Interface). However, not all patients find this approach applicable, suitable and affordable. The aim of this research is to perform Post-Stroke Rehabilitation recovery training and testing on patient without the need for Brain computer Interface (BCI) and Electroencephalogram (EEG), our proposed method provides similar embodiment and rehabilitation capabilities to those perceived from existing therapeutic techniques such as Constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT), Occupational therapy, mirror therapy and authenticating fear. Our Research approach resolution is to develop a virtual reality (VR) based system for post-stroke rehabilitation using Meta Quest (Headset) and Unity game engine for simulation of the virtual environment. Our emerging methods in integrating Generative-AI to provide adaptive therapy recommendations based on patient movements and engagement levels. While we implement the use of a real-time compensatory movement detection system without EEG, relying on AI-driven motion analysis.

    Explanation in layperson’s terms:

    After a stroke, patients often struggle to regain movement or perform simple tasks. Existing treatments rely on traditional and invasive signal equipment, such as wearing of electroencephalogram(EEG), and also require a professional expert to track and interpret the progress of the patient, while relying on real-world objects. Our invention solves those existing limitations through the integration of Virtual Reality (VR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). We create a virtual world and object where stroke patients wear a VR headset and perform exercises in a simulated environment, while patients are able to feel a real-world immersive experience through movement practice, with a real-time communication guide of AI to aid users’ improvement.

  • Dr Sayantan Decodes Gender Paradox in Bāul Philosophy July 7, 2025

    Dr Syantan Thakur, Assistant Professor at the Department of Literature and Languages in the Easwari School of Liberal Arts, analyses the Bāull Philosophy through its stories and songs, which project women as a vessel for spiritual realisation and at the same time subject her individuality so as to idealise patriarchal norms. Read the interesting excerpt about his paper to learn more about the topic.

    A Brief Abstract of the Research

    This research explores how the Bāul tradition of Bengal represents the female body within its mystical and countercultural spiritual philosophy. Central to Bāul belief is deho-tattva—the philosophy that the human body, especially the female body, is the vessel through which spiritual realization is possible. The paper critically examines how women’s bodies are portrayed as sites of divine power (śakti) but are simultaneously idealized in ways that risk reinforcing patriarchal structures. By drawing on feminist theorists like Simone de Beauvoir, Judith Butler, Luce Irigaray, and Rita Gross, the study interrogates whether the Bāul tradition’s symbolic reverence of women genuinely affirms women’s agency or instead reduces them to metaphors for male spiritual advancement. Using Bengali Bāul songs, ethnographic insights, and comparative references to other South Asian mystical traditions, this research argues that the Bāul approach embodies both liberatory and constraining elements for women. The paper calls for an intersectional feminist lens to reconcile these contradictions and to imagine a spiritual practice that fully recognizes the lived experiences and autonomous subjectivity of women within the Bāul cosmos.

    Explanation of the Research in Layperson’s Terms

    This study looks at a group of mystical singers and spiritual practitioners in Bengal called the Bāuls. They believe that the human body, especially a woman’s body, is sacred and full of divine power. Unlike some other religious traditions that say we should reject the body to find God, the Bāuls say we should honor the body because it connects us to the divine. However, there’s a twist: while the Bāuls praise women’s bodies as powerful and holy, they often do this in ways that turn real women into symbols instead of seeing them as people with their own voices and choices. My research asks: does calling a woman “divine” really help her in everyday life, or does it just make her part of someone else’s story? By studying Bāul songs and talking about feminist ideas, my work tries to show both sides of this spiritual practice—how it can free women from some social limits but also how it might quietly keep old inequalities alive. In the end, it’s about finding a fair balance between spiritual ideas and real-life respect for women

    Practical Implementation and Social Implications

    This research has important implications for how we think about gender, religion, and cultural traditions today. First, it encourages scholars, artists, and spiritual communities to look critically at how women are represented—not just as sacred symbols but as real people with voices and choices. For Bāul practitioners and followers, the study invites reflection on how to preserve the liberating parts of their tradition while addressing parts that may still reflect patriarchal ideas. Socially, the paper highlights the need for conversations about how spirituality and feminism can work together, especially in India where women often face both religious and cultural restrictions. By showing how the Bāuls both challenge and sometimes uphold old gender roles, this research can help communities, policymakers, and educators find better ways to support women’s rights within cultural practices. Practically, it suggests that empowering female Bāuls—called Bāulinīs—to share their own stories, perform publicly, and teach in their own voices can shift the tradition toward greater gender equality. Overall, this study shows that spiritual traditions can be part of modern conversations about gender justice if we approach them with openness, respect, and critical thinking.

    Prof. Ch Satish Kumar welcomed all alumni and remarked that the Meet aimed to build an emotional bridge between the generations, batches, and sections. He opined that this network would help the alumni grow, prosper, and progress professionally and personally and commended Dr Satish and SRM AP for taking the initiative to build this bridge through the Alumni Meet and Greet.

    Mr Indra Kiran Kumar enlightened the alumni on the various channels through which they could engage and contribute to their alma mater. He encouraged them to be mentors by sharing their experience and knowledge with the students, to be part of the various academic and non-academic councils of the university, and to join hands with the faculty and students to work on joint projects or begin a new business venture. He also emphasised the slogan “Come. Connect. Contribute” advocated by Vice Chancellor Prof. Manoj K Arora.

    The meet-and-greet offered alumni an opportunity to meet their fellow alumni and connect with their alma mater, which has guided them in their formative years of higher education and helped them choose their career path. The event also conducted some team-building activities and prizes for the winners.

    The Hyderabad chapter of the Alumni Meet and Greet was a resounding success. The Alumni Relations’ initiative to organise several smaller meetings in various locations of the country made it easier and more accessible for the alumni to get together, witnessing a broad and active participation. The event organisers also encouraged the alumni to visit the campus occasionally and be part of the journey to excellence.
