Yogesh Kumar Yadav, Moumita Kotal, Caique C. de Oliveira, Guilherme Dariani, Chandra Sekhar Tiwary, Pedro Alves da Silva Autreto, Mohammad Abu Shaz, Nilay Krishna Mukhopadhyay, Thakur Prasad Yadav
ACS Applied Energy Materials, 2026
High-entropy alloys (HEAs), known for their inherent compositional flexibility, tunable electronic structure, and excellent structural stability, have emerged as promising alternatives to noble-metal electrocatalysts. Nevertheless, their catalytic performance toward the alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is often limited by insufficient active site exposure and suboptimal electronic modulation. Herein, we introduce a defect-engineering strategy to unlock the intrinsic catalytic activity of a non-noble Al–Cu–Fe–Ni–Ti HEA. A systematic comparison between high-energy mechanically alloyed and induction-melted HEAs reveals that synthesis-driven structural characteristics critically influence the HER activity. The mechanically alloyed HEA (HEA-1) exhibits a defect-rich microstructure, an enlarged electrochemical surface area (∼9.1 cm2 compared to 8.36 cm2 for HEA-2), and accelerated charge-transfer kinetics, resulting in enhanced HER performance with an onset potential of 230 mV, an overpotential of 301 mV at 10 mA cm–2, a Tafel slope of 130 mV dec–1, and prolonged stability even at a current density of 19.5 mA cm–2, thereby outperforming the melted counterpart (HEA-2). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations further suggest that Ni/Cu-coordinated sites and local atomic clustering are responsible for optimizing hydrogen binding. Collectively, the findings highlight the prospect of mechanically alloyed Al–Cu–Fe–Ni–Ti HEAs as robust and effective catalysts for electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction.

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2025
Here, we investigate the transformative potential of incorporating Green Graphene (GG) derived from remnant agricultural biomass (RAB) into styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR) formulations for the development of sustainable additives for tires. GG serves as a sustainable reinforcement material, exhibiting the capability to improve the mechanical, wear, and thermal degradation properties of SBR. The incorporation of GG into the SBR matrix results in astonishing improvements: resilience by 440.44%, toughness by 326.91%, tensile strength by 253.15%, yield strength by 313.33%, Young's modulus by 205.90%, elongation by 138.84%, and hardness by 148%. Furthermore, it leads to a decrease in nanoscratch depth, a 52.68% reduction in the coefficient of friction during sliding wear, a 22.38% improvement in hydrophobicity, and a 27% enhancement in thermal stability of the GG/SBR composites. These compelling performance enhancements of GG/SBR composites aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the synergistic effects of GG and SBR rubber—shedding light on their combined potential. The outcomes from this investigation contribute valuable insights into the development of environmentally conscious green materials, writing the path for the evolution of the industry toward a greener and resilient future.

Metal–Organic Framework-Derived Graphitic Nanoribbons Anchored on Graphene for Electroionic Artificial Muscles
Moumita Kotal, Rassoul Tabassian, Sandipan Roy, Saewoong Oh, Il‐Kwon Oh
Advanced Functional Materials, 2020
Abstract To achieve large bending displacement and fast response time under ultralow input voltages, as well as improved durability, advanced high‐performance ionic actuators still face crucial design challenges that must be resolved. Here, hierarchically porous and unzipped graphitic nanoribbons anchored on graphene as an efficient electrode material for high‐performance electroionic artificial muscles are reported. Using controlled solvothermal and pyrolysis methods, nanoarchitectured carbon is derived from a self‐templated potassium‐based metal–organic frameworks–graphene hybrid. The newly designed ionic actuator demonstrates excellent actuation performance, including large bending displacement (17.4 mm) and a strain difference of 0.51% at 0.5 V AC input, very fast response time (700 ms) at 0.5 V DC input, wide frequency response (0.1–15 Hz), and excellent cycling stability (92%) after 25 000 cycles without any delamination of electrodes under continuous electrical operation. The breakthrough in actuation performance mainly stems from the unzipping of hollow nanorods to hierarchical porous graphitic nanoribbons anchored on graphene with the enlarged surface area, large pore volume, stronger mechanical integrity, and emerging charge storage and transport ability. Further, the electroionic actuator shows promise when applied in the demonstration of a biomimicking Venus flytrap.

Crystal Growth and Design, 2020
Visible-light-assisted photocatalysis for the degradation of organic pollutants has recently become an efficient green approach in the field of environmental pollution abatement. Herein, graphene-templated zeolite-imidazolate framework (ZIF-67) derived, Co nanoparticle embedded, nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (G-Co-NCNTs) have been developed as a promising, inexpensive, high-yield photocatalyst to decompose reactive black 5 (RB5) under visible light irradiation. Morphology and structural characterization studies revealed that the growth of NCNTs along with pyridinic N content and the abundance of meso-micropores were greater in G-Co-NCNT than in Co-NCNT itself, suggesting the importance of graphene for in situ growth of ZIF-67 on GO. DRS study reveals that G-Co-NCNT exhibited low optical band gap (∼2.9 eV), assisting in the promotion of photoresponse behavior. The photocatalytic activity of our designed G-Co-NCNT hybrid showed excellent dye degradation ability (98%) after 60 min with a wide range of pH tolerance and promising reusability even after five cycles (93%) under visible light, while Co-NCNT demonstrated only about 62% dye degradation, further implying the importance of graphene and oriented NCNTs for dye degradation. Therefore, the G-Co-NCNT hybrid could be used as an efficient photocatalyst for the remediation of organic pollutants in wastewater.

Crystal Growth and Design, 2019
In the present work, a novel triptycene-based imine-linked covalent organic polymer (TP-COP) was designed and synthesized via room-temperature, solvent-free mechanochemical grinding. The as-synthesized TP-COP material was fully characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, solid-state NMR, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller method, thermogravimetric analysis, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). The HRTEM image of TP-COP clearly indicates the presence of graphene-like layered morphology (exfoliated layers). The DRS study reveals that TP-COP exhibited a low optical band gap value of 2.49 eV, implying its semiconducting nature. Further, the EPR study confirmed the semiconducting behavior of TP-COP through the generation of free radicals. These findings suggest that TP-COP could be used as an efficient photocatayst for the degradation of organic dye (RhB...
Collectively Exhaustive Electrodes Based on Covalent Organic Framework and Antagonistic Co-Doping for Electroactive Ionic Artificial Muscles
Sandipan Roy, Jaehwan Kim, Moumita Kotal, Rassoul Tabassian, Kwang J. Kim, Il‐Kwon Oh
Advanced Functional Materials, 2019
Abstract In this study, high‐performance ionic soft actuators are developed for the first time using collectively exhaustive boron and sulfur co‐doped porous carbon electrodes (BS‐COF‐Cs), derived from thiophene‐based boronate‐linked covalent organic framework (T‐COF) as a template. The one‐electron deficiency of boron compared to carbon leads to the generation of hole charge carriers, while sulfur, owing to its high electron density, creates electron carriers in BS‐COF‐C electrodes. This antagonistic functionality of BS‐COF‐C electrodes assists the charge‐transfer rate, leading to fast charge separation in the developed ionic soft actuator under alternating current input signals. Furthermore, the hierarchical porosity, high surface area, and synergistic effect of co‐doping of the BS‐COF‐Cs play crucial roles in offering effective interaction of BS‐COF‐Cs with poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS), leading to the generation of high electro‐chemo‐mechanical performance of the corresponding composite electrodes. Finally, the developed ionic soft actuator based on the BS‐COF‐C electrode exhibits large bending strain (0.62%), excellent durability (90% retention for 6 hours under operation), and 2.7 times higher bending displacement than PEDOT:PSS under extremely low harmonic input of 0.5 V. This study reveals that the antagonistic functionality of heteroatom co‐doped electrodes plays a crucial role in accelerating the actuation performance of ionic artificial muscles.

Advanced Science, 2019
Electroactive ionic soft actuators, a type of artificial muscles containing a polymer electrolyte membrane sandwiched between two electrodes, have been intensively investigated owing to their potential applications to bioinspired soft robotics, wearable electronics, and active biomedical devices. However, the design and synthesis of an efficient polymer electrolyte suitable for ion migration have been major challenges in developing high‐performance ionic soft actuators. Herein, a highly bendable ionic soft actuator based on an unprecedented block copolymer is reported, i.e., polystyrene‐b‐poly(1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium‐4‐styrenesulfonate) (PS‐b‐PSS‐EMIm), with a functionally antagonistic core–shell architecture that is specifically designed as an ionic exchangeable polymer electrolyte. The corresponding actuator shows exceptionally good actuation performance, with a high displacement of 8.22 mm at an ultralow voltage of 0.5 V, a fast rise time of 5 s, and excellent durability over 14 000 cycles. It is envisaged that the development of this high‐performance ionic soft actuator could contribute to the progress toward the realization of the aforementioned applications. Furthermore, the procedure described herein can also be applied for developing novel polymer electrolytes related to solid‐state lithium batteries and fuel cells.
