At Samavay 2025, the Department of Chemical Engineering, IIT Kanpur took center stage with an impressive showcase of cutting-edge research aligned with this year’s theme — Sustainability: Research and Innovation. The department's display highlighted impactful solutions aimed at creating a greener, cleaner future through scientific innovation.
One of the standout contributions came from Prof. Raju Kumar Gupta’s Lab, where Dr. Nagmani and her team presented their pioneering work on:
🔋 "Development of Low-cost, Sustainable, and Scalable Hard Carbon Anode for Next-Generation Sodium-ion Batteries."
Their live technology demonstration drew tremendous interest from both industry professionals and academic researchers, emphasizing the global relevance of sustainable energy storage. What made the project truly remarkable was the indigenous development of a hard carbon material that not only rivals but outperforms commercially available options — all while being cost-effective and scalable.
This innovation holds immense promise for the future of sodium-ion battery commercialization and marks a significant step toward self-reliant, eco-friendly, and scalable energy solutions. It beautifully reflects the goals of Atmanirbhar Bharat and reinforces India’s commitment to clean energy transitions.
The excitement and engagement at the booth were a testament to the real-world impact of this research, positioning IIT Kanpur at the forefront of sustainable innovation.
