Much of the literature surrounding PEF is focused on unit processes, with little regard for their sustainability and economic viability. In this comprehensive critical review, the entire process of PEF production, from the feedstock to polymerization and upstream applications, is critically examined. Identification of individual pathways capable of producing PEF efficiently and with favorable properties while considering economic viability and environmental sustainability are presented. For each unit operation, recent technological developments are summarized, and recommendations are made based on process efficiency. The collection of the findings from both life cycle assessments (LCA) and techno‐economic analyses (TEA) facilitated the identification of pathways with the greatest potential for environmental sustainability and economic viability of PEF production.}, journal={ADVANCED SUSTAINABLE SYSTEMS}, author={Sanders, John H. and Cunniffe, Julia and Carrejo, Edgar and Burke, Cullen and Reynolds, Autumn M. and Dey, Shaikat Chandra and Islam, Md.

The past decade has witnessed enormous research efforts in developing hard carbon anode materials for sodium-ion batteries. Phenolic resins have received significant attention as hard carbon precursors due to their high carbon yield, highly cross-linked structure, low cost, mature technology, and excellent electrochemical performance of corresponding hard carbon anode. This Review exclusively highlights the state-of-the-art preparation of hard carbon from phenolic resins, and the electrochemical performance in sodium-ion batteries. Cross-linked resins are prepared from three phenolic monomers (phenol, resorcinol, and phloroglucinol) to produce hard carbon. The effects of carbonization temperature on the microstructure, and electrochemical properties of hard carbon have been summarized here. Hard carbon formation, and sodium storage mechanisms have been briefly outlined. Finally, this Review provides an industrial perspective on hard carbon production at scale.}, journal={ACS ENERGY LETTERS}, author={Dey, Shaikat Chandra and Worfolk, Brian and Lower, Lillian and Sagues, William Joe and Nimlos, Mark R. and Kelley, Stephen S. and Park, Sunkyu}, year={2024}, month={May} }

The surge in demand for Li-ion battery anode materials coupled with the unsustainable and inefficient methods of producing battery-grade graphite necessitate alternative carbon feedstocks and graphitization technologies. Paper waste (PW) is identified as a suitable carbon feedstock for iron-catalyzed graphitization due to its sustainability, low cost, low ash content, and ample supply for the intended end use. A Box Behnken experimental design for statistical optimization is pursued for untreated and pre‑carbonized PW with factors of temperature (1100–1300 °C), hold time (1–5 h), and iron catalyst loading (0.5–1.5× fixed carbon content) with biographite crystal size as the primary response variable. Temperature and iron catalyst loading are found to be significant factors, whereas hold time is found to be insignificant. Reversible capacities of the biographite anodes are found to be 340–355 mAh g−1 with 99 % capacity retention over 100 cycles, indicating good electrochemical performance relative to commercial graphite anodes. The initial Coulombic efficiency of untreated and pre‑carbonized biographites, however, are 77 % and 75 %, respectively, suggesting parasitic reactions including electrolyte decomposition.}, journal={JOURNAL OF ENERGY STORAGE}, author={Vook, Trevor and Dey, Shaikat Chandra and Yang, Junghoon and Nimlos, Mark and Park, Sunkyu and Han, Sang-Don and Sagues, William Joe}, year={2023}, month={Dec} }

In this study, iron oxides (Fe2O3) decorated silver (Ag) core–shell nanocomposite was prepared using a green thermal decomposition process without using any additional chemicals. The nanocomposite was characterized for its composition, phase interactions, morphology, and stability using spectroscopic, thermogravimetric, and microscopic techniques. The resultant nanocomposite were also investigated against different types of bacteria and cancer cell lines. Both Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria (Klebsiella spp., E. coli, and Pseudomonas) growth was inhibited by the Ag/Fe2O3 nanocomposite. The highest 19 mm zone of inhibition (ZOI) was found for Staphylococcus aureus by the combined effect of Ag and Fe2O3. The antibiofilm efficacy of the prepared nanocomposites showed biofilm destruction of 82.56% Staphylococcus aureus and 51.06% Klebsiella spp. Furthermore, the nanocomposite resulted in 80–90% death of Hela and BHK-21 cells but displayed lower cell toxicity in the case of the Vero cell line. This pathway of nanocomposites preparation with particle surface engineering would open new doors in the fields of nanobiotechnology and nanobiomedical applications.}, number={12}, journal={SN APPLIED SCIENCES}, author={Hossain, Md.

The particle size, shape, and overall geometry mainly depend on the fabrication method. This study reports synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) from zinc nitrate hexahydrate [Zn(NO3)2.6H2O] precursor in aqueous media at 65 °C by using lactose from cow milk as a reducing agent and regulating pH from 6 to 10. UV–visible absorption gave maximum absorbance (λmax) at 371–375 nm in ethanol for localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), FTIR exhibited bands at ca. 439–481 cm−1 for stretching mode Zn–O bonds, and XRD peaks at 2 θ values at 31.8, 34.45, and 36.28° confirmed the fabricated ZnO NPs. The XRD spectra also indicated that the ZnO crystallite (20–30 nm) has a hexagonal wurtzite structure. The average particle sizes measured by DLS were ca. 50–837 nm, and SEM microphotographs demonstrated the morphology of ZnO NPs with a hexagonal, rod-shaped, or spike-like structure. The ZnO NPs were used to investigate the LSPR absorption at various concentrations of insulin, ranging from 2.5 μM to 50 μM. The ZnO NPs fabricated at pH 7 and 10 showed better insulin sensing performance with high precision. The synthesis approach of ZnO NPs with variable morphologies would play a significant function in biomedical science especially real time monitoring of glucose for efficient management of diabetes.}, number={8}, journal={HELIYON}, author={Ahmed, Nasim and Dey, Shaikat Chandra and Mustary, Nusrat and Ashaduzzaman, Md}, year={2023}, month={Aug} }

For this purpose, a series of bifunctional nanohybrids containing different proportions of naturally occurring biopolymer chitosan and ternary photocatalyst made of kaolinite, TiO2, and ZnO were prepared through the dissolution of chitosan in acid and subsequent deposition on ternary photocatalyst. The characterization through Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectrum (EDS) have confirmed the successful fabrication of nanohybrids from TiO2 and chitosan. The adsorptive separation of Orange G from the aqueous solution and subsequent degradation under solar irradiation was thoroughly studied by recording the λmax value of dye in the ultraviolet–visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer at various operating conditions of pH, dye concentration, contact time, and compositional variation. The nanohybrid (TP0.75CS0.25) fabricated from 75% ternary photocatalyst (w/w) and 25% chitosan (w/w) removed 97.4% Orange G within 110 min at pH 2.5 and 10 mg/L dye concentration. The relative contribution of chitosan and ternary composite on dye removal was understood by comparing the experimental results in the dark and sunlight. Recyclability experiments showed the suitability of the nanohybrid for long-term repeated applications. Equilibrium experimental data showed a better correlation with the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The rapid and nearly complete removal capacity, long-term reusability, and simple fabrication technique make this novel nanohybrid a promising advanced material for removing hazardous azo dyes from industrial effluents.}, number={10}, journal={JOURNAL OF COMPOSITES SCIENCE}, author={Hossain, Mohammad Rahat and Rashid, Taslim Ur and Lata, Nadira Parvin and Dey, Shaikat Chandra and Sarker, Mithun and Shamsuddin, Sayed Md}, year={2022}, month={Oct} }
