e present a machine-learning powered Metal Hydride’s Pressure-Composition-Temperature isotherm Predictor (MH-PCTpro) for metal compositions. To train the MH-PCTpro, an experimental database of PCT isotherms is built from published literature. The database comprises over 14,000 data points extracted from 237 PCT isotherms representing 138 distinct compositions. The dataset encompasses more than 25 elements and spans a broad spectrum of absorption temperatures (263–653 K) and hydrogen pressures (0.001–40 MPa). The model is validated on a wide range of alloy families and its predictions are consistent with experimental results. The model also captures temperature-dependent variations in plateau pressure, enabling determination of enthalpy and entropy of hydride formation through Van’t Hoff plots. Hence, MH-PCTpro can be used as an ML tool for guiding PCT experiments, offering PCT isotherm predictions and valuable thermodynamic insights into materials suitable for solid-state hydrogen storage.
Priyanka Pandinhare Puthiyaveetil, Aathira Nair, Swati Dilwale, Maria Kurian, Kavita Joshi And Sreekumar Kurungot, Insights on Prussian Blue Analogue Cathode Material Engineered with Polypyrrole Surface Protection Layer for Aqueous Rechargeable Zinc Metal Battery, small., 21, 2409947 (2025), DOI:https://doi.org/10.1002/smll.202409947.
One of the key intricacies against using Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) in aqueous batteries is their gradual dissolution in aqueous electrolytes, resulting in inadequate cycling stability. Besides, the rate capability of PBAs is limited due to their poor electrical conductivity. To overcome these challenges, it is essential to tune the physical and chemical properties of PBAs at the nano regime without affecting the inherent charge storage properties, especially at high-voltage operating conditions. Through this work, a strategy is demonstrated to enhance the electrochemical performance of vanadium-based PBA (V-PBA) by surface engineering using a conducting polymer nano-skin (V-PBA/PPy) for aqueous zinc metal batteries. The polypyrrole (PPy) nano-skin over the V-PBA nanoparticles acts as an electron percolation path to ameliorate the poor electronic conductivity of the otherwise pristine V-PBA. Interestingly, the V-PBA with an optimized polypyrrole coating (V-PBA/PPy-2) exhibits an enhanced specific capacity (173 mAh g?1 at 0.10 A g?1) than the pristine V-PBA counterpart (80 mAh g?1) and 85% capacity retention up to 500 cycles. The DFT calculation confirms the synergistic interaction between PPy and V-PBA and the presence of PPy favors the adsorption of Zn.
C Das, N Sinha, A Nair, S Pal, K Joshi And P Roy, Chlorophobic Iron Hydrogen Phosphite as OER-Active Electrocatalyst in Anion Exchange Membrane (Sea)Water Electrolysis, small., 21, 2505781 (2025), DOI:https://doi.org/10.1002/smll.202505781.
Seawater electrolysis is recognized as a promising technology to cater to the worldwide drive for sustainable hydrogen production; however, its practical viability is often hindered by the inevitable anode corrosion arising from the electrode side reactions owing to the presence of high chloride content which eventually degrade the electrode performance eventually. Herein, the design of unprecedented ammonium iron hydrogen phosphite (FeHPhi) along with a trace amount of Cu, is reported as the unique and much desired electrode material for seawater electrolysis due to its special chloride repellant nature along with great electrocatalytic activity toward water oxidation. The [HPO3]2? oxoanion as Lewis base in the structure effectively restricts chloride ions, while the Fe center acts as Lewis acid offering an active site for water oxidation, also well-supported theoretically. Leveraging this frustrated Lewis pair combination, the electrocatalyst achieves a high current density of 500 mA cm?2 at 344 mV overpotential in alkaline real seawater with impressive robustness to sustain for 200 h when operated under chlorine evolution reaction dominating region (>2 V). The electrocatalyst also demonstrates superior performance in anion exchange membrane freshwater and seawater electrolysis, demonstrating its potential applicability.

In this investigation, we elucidated, one-pot two stage efficient synthesis of multifuctionalized spiro[oxindole ?3,3?-pyrrolidine]. The methodology proceeds via organocatalyzed nitro-Michael addition reaction between indolylidenecyanoesters and nitroalkanes to formed nitro-Michael adduct which transformed into multifunctionalized 3,3?-pyrrolidinyl-spirooxindoles by metal catalyzed reductive cyclization cascade. DFT investigations were conducted to elucidate the mechanism underlying the preferential reduction of the nitro group, with subsequent attack on the nitrile and ester groups remain inert throughout the reaction process. The approach is operationally simple, easily scalable, exhibits compatibility with readily accessible starting material and catalysts, thereby emphasizing cost-effectiveness.
Piyush Ranjan Maharana*, Ashwini Verma And Kavita Joshi*, Retrieval augmented generation for building datasets from scientific literature, JPhys Materials., 8, 035006 (2025), DOI:10.1088/2515-7639/ade1fa.
In this work, we show that employing retrieval augmented generation (RAG) with a large language model (LLM) enables us to extract accurate data from scientific literature and construct datasets. The rapid growth in publications necessitates the automation of the extraction of structured data, as it is crucial for training machine learning(ML) models. The pipeline developed is simple and can be adjusted accordingly with natural language as input. Quantization enables us to run LLMs on consumer hardware and remove the reliance on closed-source models. Both Llama3-8B and Gemma2-9B with RAG give structured output consistently and with high accuracy as compared to direct prompting. Using the newly developed protocol, we created a data set of metal hydrides for solid-state hydrogen storage from paper abstracts. The accuracy of the generated dataset was 88% in the cases tested. Further, we demonstrate that the generated dataset is ready-to-use for ML models by testing it with HYST to predict the H at a given temperature. Thus, we demonstrate a pipeline to create datasets from scientific literature at minimal computational cost and high accuracy.

The work illustrates the formation of a ORR/OER bifunctional electrocatalyst having layer-separated CoFe alloy nanoparticles with a Fe-rich skin-decorated nitrogen-doped graphene (NGr) and spatial distribution regulated by the in-situ generated CoFe-encapsulated CNTs. The catalyst emerges as a cost-effective and competitive cathode material for rechargeable metal-air batteries, serving as a versatile alternative to expensive noble metal-based catalysts where ORR and OER are the rate-determining electrode processes.

IF: 8.067 (2021) & 5.7 (2023) Lead-free perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have attracted considerable attention due to their excellent optoelectronic properties. However, they generally exhibit broadband emission with poor color purity. Similarly, obtaining tunable red/green/blue (RGB) emissions from lead-free perovskite NCs is highly desirable for several display applications. However, directly synthesizing lead-free perovskite NCs with tunable RGB emission and high color purity remains challenging. Herein, we have developed a simple and rapid microwave-assisted (MW-AT) synthesis strategy for synthesizing Mn-doped CsBr [Mn2+:CsBr] to phase engineering of non-toxic and stable all-inorganic cesium manganese bromide perovskite NCs in a nonpolar solvent with tunable blue-green-red emission color with high color purity. The phase transition was triggered by changing the MnBr2 concentration during the microwave synthesis: from Mn2+:CsBr (blue emission) to zero dimensional (0D) Cs3MnBr5 NCs (green emission) to one dimensional (1D) CsMnBr3 NCs (red emission). In addition, in a controlled moisture environment, both the 0D Cs3MnBr5 and 1D CsMnBr3 NCs were transformed into 0D Cs2MnBr4·2H2O NCs (blue emission), which could be inversely transformed back to their respective original phase via thermal annealing. Thus, our work highlights for the first time a rapid and efficient MW-AT synthesis strategy to obtain phase-pure tunable optical properties with high color purity from Mn-doped CsBr to cesium manganese bromide perovskite NCs via phase engineering, which can be further utilized in designing anti-counterfeiting and encryption materials for coding with high security and information concealment. Our work also provides a new avenue for exploring efficient MW-AT synthesis of other earth-abundant eco-friendly highly luminescent Pb-free perovskite NCs for future endeavors.

IF: 8.8;
Electrocatalytic water splitting to hydrogen and oxygen is considered to be one of the significant routes for future renewable energy conversion. Therefore, the development of unique, efficient, and cost-effective bifunctional electrocatalysts, which can perform both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), is critical for the accessible utilization of renewable energy. The increasing overall efficiency of the water-splitting reaction is pivotal for sustainable energy conversion and hydrogen production. Herein, we present a facile solution-based synthesis route to control the crystallinity of the cobalt tungstate (CoWO4) nanomaterials to amorphous, semiamorphous, and crystalline phases and further exploit these nanomaterials as bifunctional electrocatalysts for the HER, OER, and overall electrochemical water splitting reaction. Notably, the semiamorphous cobalt tungstate nanomaterials show a remarkable surface area of approximately 150 m2/g, the highest reported for CoWO4-based materials, and demonstrated superior activity for both the OER and HER and outstanding stability over the amorphous and crystalline counterparts. Notably, the SemiAmp||SemiAmp electrolyzer demonstrated a better performance for overall water splitting than the commercial RuO2||Pt/C electrolyzer.

Zinc anode deterioration in aqueous electrolytes, and Zn dendrite growth is a major concern in the operation of aqueous rechargeable Zn metal batteries (AZMBs). To tackle this the replacement of aqueous electrolytes with a zinc hydrogel polymer electrolyte (ZHPE) is presented in this study. This method involves structural modifications of the ZHPE by phytic acid through an ultraviolet (UV) light-induced photopolymerization process. The high membrane flexibility, high ionic conductivity (0.08 S cm-1), improved zinc corrosion overpotential, and enhanced electrochemical stability value of ~2.0 V vs Zn|Zn2+ show the great potential of ZHPE as an ideal gel electrolyte for rechargeable zinc metal hydrogel batteries (ZMHBs).

Given the benefits of Al and its limited research on electrocatalysis, we present here the creation of a potential bifunctional ORR and OER electrocatalyst made of Co-encapsulated carbon nanotubes co-existing with Al, N-dual-doped reduced graphene oxide (Al, Co/N-rGCNT). The potential of the developed catalyst could be demonstrated for RZAB with respect to the charging and discharging cycling, validating the use of an economical and environmentally benign catalyst for an emerging energy solution.

Our new paper published in ACS Applied Engineering Materials. In this study, we created an electrocatalyst for the electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction using PtNi/SiO2 alloy as a feasible carbon-free catalyst for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). One significant problem reducing the fuel cells' lifespan is carbon corrosion. The present catalyst turns out to be electrochemically more active as a potential carbon-free substitute for PEMFC applications because of the electronic level modulations brought about by lattice compression.

For the first time, we have synthesized lead (Pb)-free manganese
(Mn)- and copper (Cu)-based hybrid organic?inorganic perovskite (HOIP) compounds, compound 1, (TEA)2MnBr4, compound 2, (TBA)2MnBr4, compound 3, (TEA)2CuBr4, and compound 4, (TBA)CuBr2 (where TEA is tetraethylammonium and TBA is tetrabutylammonium), under ambient conditions via mechanochemical synthesis methodology using a Kakuhunter-made planetary mixer. The compounds are characterized as 2D except for (TBA)CuBr2, which has crystallized in the 0D lattice. The synthesized compounds are phase pure and show a stable solid-state emission at room temperature. The Mn-based perovskite compound 1 showed excellent environmental photostability for over a month and reasonable stability under a relative humidity of 70-80%. The nanoparticle (NP) dispersions of compounds 1 and 2 were used further for fluorescence titration studies using various
heavy metal cations, including transition metals and lanthanides (e.g., Y3+, Nb3+, Co2+, Ni2+, Ag+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, Gd3+, and Dy3+), where they showed good fluorescence switching by the Pb2+ ion. Compound 1 demonstrated excellent fluorescence switching
performance with Pb2+ titration with a Pb2+ detection limit of 2.43 × 10-8 M and hence can be used to fabricate a Pb2+ calorimetric
sensor. A preliminary visual thin film-based sensor using NPs of compound 1 was fabricated to test the change in emission from blue
to green in correlation with the results obtained in the NP solution during Pb2+ ion sensing. A fascinating in situ ion-exchange-based mechanism for the sensitivity of NPs of compound 1 is confirmed. This study reveals the ability of Pb-free Mn-based HOIPs to detect an oxidizing metal cation, Pb2+, efficiently and quantitatively
