Happy to share our Materials Horizons article! We convert peanut shell waste into nitrogen-doped activated carbon for efficient CO₂ capture. Operando insights and LCA reveal a carbon-negative, scalable pathway toward net-zero. Kudos to Sujit & team. pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Art…

Happy to share our ACS Catalysis article on CO₂-to-CO conversion, integrating catalyst design, mechanistic insights, reactor engineering, TEA-LCA, and AI optimization to accelerate scalable, sustainable carbon utilization pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Happy moment for Indian CCUS community ₹20K crore announced by GOI for CCUS over the next 5 years. Heartening to hear Hon’ble FM reference our roadmap, & deeply gratifying to be an integral part of this Grateful to Hon’ble PM Modi ji and all supported. youtube.com/watch?v=3t6Phw…

@snuchemistry @BimleshLochab @SanjeevSaGa @AnanyaVC @SNU_NatScience Congratulations Bimlesh

Hearty Congratulations to Prof. Bimlesh Lochab! On becoming the first Associate Editor in India for the prestigious journal ACS Macromolecules (Nature Index) ACS Macromolecules Editors: lnkd.in/g-cCtZv2 Editorial: lnkd.in/gwZ7itkm #AmericanChemicalSociety

Happy to share our ACS Nano publication on Pd₃Ni intermetallics synthesized via solution chemistry. Pd₃Ni shows exceptional tetrafunctional activity for fuel cells and electrolyzers. Congratulations, Soumi, on extending your outstanding thesis work! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Happy to share our article published in ACS Energy Letters. We reveal a light-driven pathway where TEOA–CO₂ photolyzes to acetaldehyde, even without a catalyst, exposing hidden SED reactivity and guiding reliable pCO₂RR analysis. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Our 10th paper in ACS Energy Letters, featured in a special anniversary issue, examines anode durability limits in anion exchange membrane water electrolyzers, highlighting degradation of low-cost catalysts and pathways toward stable, efficient AEMWEs. doi.org/10.1021/acsene…

We will be closing the registration for participation in ICCCU23 on 3rd December (icccu25.com). You also have an excellent opportunity to compete for the Best Paper Award in the area of CCU.

Happy to share Angewandte Chemie paper from us! Hollow Cu–Zn catalyst overcomes copper’s limitations in CO₂ reduction, doubling C2⁺ products and achieving 50% C2⁺ alcohol and 81% overall C2⁺ efficiency at high current density. Kudos to Nilutpal & team doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…

Kudos to our Women in Blue for bringing home the World Cup! This win isn’t just about cricket.... it’s about changing the future for millions of young women in India.

Sharing My Insight on the Nobel Prize, Featured in The Times of India

Our next JACS! We tackled a key challenge in CO₂ reduction — stabilizing the catalytic surface for efficient C₂ formation. By atomically tuning fluorine-doped Cu₂O catalysts, we achieved a record C₂⁺ selectivity of 92 ± 2% at high current density. doi.org/10.1021/jacs.5…

Our new Chemical Science article reports an efficient CO₂-to-cyclic carbonate process using dynamic pyridine bis-salicylaldimine Schiff base catalysts. Conformational flexibility & H-bond tuning enable >99% selectivity with great recyclability doi.org/10.1039/D5SC02…

Delighted to share our recent publication in Chemical Engineering Journal in collaboration with Dr. Vinod, CSIR–NCL. The study demonstrates an innovative strategy for CO₂ to CO conversion . Grateful to all collaborators for their valuable contributions! doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.…

Happy to announce ICCCU-25, the International Conference on Carbon Capture and Utilization, at JNCASR, Bengaluru (Dec 14–19, 2025)! Join leading global experts shaping the future of CO₂ innovation. Seats are limited —register soon! forms.gle/EYAE9zQSMJyjmG… icccu25.com
