Eu3+ doped YVO4 nano phosphors were synthesized by adopting a simple Co-Precipitation Method (CPM). In order to compare and evaluate this method's potentiality, we prepared the same phosphor by using a conventional Solid State Reaction method (SSR). X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) profile confirms the tetragonal nature of Eu3+ doped YVO4 nano phosphors. The efficiency of the prepared phosphors was analyzed by means of its emission spectral profiles. We also observed a rich red emission from the prepared phosphors under a Ultra-Violet (UV) source. Such luminescent powders are expected to be applied as red phosphors in display device applications. In addition, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier-Transform IR spectroscopy (FTIR), and Raman Spectrum were also used to characterize the synthesized phosphor.

Proton-Conducting Polymer Wrapped Cathode Catalyst for Enhancing Triple-Phase Boundaries in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

Meenakshi Seshadhri Garapati, Divya Nechiyil, Sebastien Joulie, Revathi R. Bacsa, Ramaprabhu Sundara, Wolfgang Bacsa

Summary: The study focuses on improving the performance and durability of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) by synthesizing different weight percentages of proton-conducting poly(vinylphosphonic acid) (PVPA) wrapped nitrogen and sulfur doped carbon nanotubes as catalyst support. The results show that the PVPA coating enhances the triple-phase boundary density and durability of the cathode catalyst, leading to increased activity and stable electrochemical performance. The systematic variation of PVPA weight percentage helps to find the optimal proton-conducting polymer content for achieving high performance PEMFCs.

Design and Performance Enhancement of Cobalt-Encapsulated Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanofiber Electrocatalyst through Ionic Liquid Modification for Efficient Oxygen Reduction

Sanjit Kumar Parida, Dipsikha Ganguly, Tulasi Barik, Rajendra Kumar Sharma, Sankarakumar Amirthapandian, Hrudananda Jena, Ramaprabhu Sundara

Summary: Designing platinum-group-metal-free (PGM-free) electrocatalysts with high activity and durability for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in acidic environments is challenging. In this study, a Co-encapsulated nitrogen-doped carbon with nanofiber networks and its ionic liquid-modified interface showed efficient ORR activity in an acidic medium. The catalyst showed promising activity and durability comparable to Pt/C, with a half-wave potential of 0.71 V vs RHE and only 11 mV reduction in activity after 5000 cycles. It also retained 71% of its original current in a short-term durability test and exhibited superior performance among reported nonPGM catalysts.

Arindam Chatterjee, Dipsikha Ganguly, Ramaprabhu Sundara, Subramshu S. Bhattacharya

Summary: Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) are promising energy storage devices due to low-cost sulfur-based cathode and high energy density. However, the shuttle effect of lithium polysulfide (LiPS) and slow redox kinetics of lithium sulfide (Li2S) formation hinder their commercial viability. In this study, a transition metal-rare earth high entropy oxide (TM-RE HEO) was designed as a polysulfide adsorbent and catalyst for redox reactions in Li-S batteries. The TM-RE HEO demonstrated enhanced discharge capacity, high rate capability, and long-term cycling stability. This work highlights the potential of high entropy oxide in developing efficient LSB technology.
