Researchers have developed a non-expensive way to coat carbon on lithium metal oxide electrodes for lithium-ion batteries (used in electric vehicles) which will double its life due to protective carbon coating

International Advanced Research Centre for Powder Metallurgy and New Materials (ARCI) has developed innovative and low-cost process developed for the synthesis of in-situ carbon modified LiFePO4 (LFP), a cathode material for Lithium-ion batteries by indigenously developed large-scale reactor produces substantial amount of hydrogen using sustainable sources like sunlight and water.

Technologies have been developed for correcting pressure and flow inconsistencies of industrial processes, saving power wasted in the form of steam, as well as converting high ash Indian coal to methanol. Scientists at JNCASR have found a new lead (Pb) free material which can efficiently convert waste heat to power our small home equipment and automobiles.

DST has also participated in the ACT#3 Call in collaboration with other ACT partnering countries in the area of CCUS (Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage) for adapting the global practices and to promote translational research for transfer of technologies from low to higher TRL levels. Two multilateral CCUS consortia have been supported by IIT Kharagpur, IIT Bombay, GIIP New Delhi in partnership with Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Germany, UK, USA etc.
