Excited to share that I have been awarded the IGSTC Paired Early Career Fellowship in Applied Research (PECFAR – Call 2025) along with Prof. Matteo Bianchini @MBianchini87 I look forward for my visit to the University of Bayreuth. @INDOGSTC @jncasr igstc.org/images/announc…

@anooshkabathwal @PIB_India @IndiaDST Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement!

@PIB_India @IndiaDST A game-changer for India’s green energy future! This sodium-ion battery breakthrough by JNCASR scientists—fast-charging, durable, and affordable could redefine energy storage. Proud to see homegrown innovation paving the way for sustainable electrification.

Supercharging the future: India’s Scientists design fast-charging & long-lasting sodium-ion battery In a world racing towards electrification—from cars to villages—one thing remains crucial: affordable, fast, and safe batteries. While lithium-ion batteries have powered this revolution so far, they are costly. Besides, lithium resources are limited and geopolitically constrained. But scientists in Bengaluru may have just found a powerful alternative. A research team at the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), an autonomous institute of the Department of Science and Technology (DST) has developed a super-fast charging sodium-ion battery (SIB) based on a NASICON-type cathode and anode material, that can charge up to 80% in just six minutes and last over 3000 charge cycles.

@Iamshauvik Thank you

@ImBiplabPatra @jncasr @PIB_India Congrats bro...! Great work!

🚀 Supercharging the future of clean energy! Honoured to see our 6-min fast-charging Na-ion battery research from @JNCASR featured by @PIB_India 🇮🇳 Affordable 💰 | Fast 🔋 | Long-lasting ♻️ A step towards #AtmanirbharBharat in energy storage! #NaIonBattery #MakeInIndia

🚨 Our latest @advancematerial paper is out! We report a NASICON anode for #SodiumIonBatteries that enables ⚡80% charge in 6 min &🔁 stable cycling over 3000+ cycles! I’m thankful to @PremJNC for his guidance and support. A special shoutout to @swathyn99, my amazing coworker.

@sapra_simran Thank you

@ImBiplabPatra Congratulations🎉🎉

Had a great time at #ICSB2025! Presented my work on fast-charging NASICON anodes for Na-ion batteries and won the Best Poster Award! Exciting talks from leading battery researchers and experts in solid-state batteries. Looking forward to more innovations in energy storage! 📄🔋

@DoeffMarca Congratulations

Honored to have received a Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Director's Lifetime Achievement Award. There's a video! youtube.com/watch?v=mNTHXQ…

Thrilled to share that I was granted SERB-ITS funding to attend #PRiME2024 in Honolulu! Presented my work on NASICON-anodes & cathodes. Great to connect with leaders like @DoeffMarca, Gerband Ceder, @YingShirleyMeng, @MRosaPalacin, & Shinichi Komaba! #ECS #PRiME2024 #Batteries

Hot off the press: we utilise chemical tuning strategy to stabilize multi-electron NASICON anode which show impressive cycle life and rate performance!! @ImBiplabPatra onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

It's finally out! Delighted to share that our latest article on NASICON anodes is now published in Advanced Energy Materials @WileyVCH. We depict how structural modulation can lead to long-life Sodium-ion Batteries. Many thanks to @premJNC for support. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.100…

@SayantanM_rover Thank you so much.

@ImBiplabPatra @ChemMater @PremJNC Outstanding work!!! Congratulations

Excited to share our latest article in @ChemMater, demonstrating how to tailor high-performance NASICON Cathode via Combinatorial Chemical Substitutions. Check it out for insights into enhancing battery performance! Huge thanks to @PremJNC for his support. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

@RajuMan91472972 @ChemMater @PremJNC Thank you

@SaraSkrabalak @ChemMater @PremJNC You're welcome! I'm glad you found it interesting.

@ImBiplabPatra @ChemMater @PremJNC Thanks for sending this nice paper our way!

Check out our recent work on NASICON cathodes in @ChemMater. We show how the V/Zr/Mn chemical substitutions can impact (local)structural and electrochemical properties!!! Kudos to @ImBiplabPatra and Keshav!! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Poster Presentation @IMESD_India-2023 @IIT_Roorkee. It was an amazing experience to meet scientists around the world with different flavours of research. A few glimpses of the @IMESD_India event. Excited for more such meetings ahead.
