| Project Brief Description: | The present project "PAVITRAM" Purification And Valorization through Indigenous Tailoring of Raw polymeric waste into Advanced Multidimensional carbon nanomaterials for large scale energy storage applications including super capacitors and batteries is a serious attempt to fill all the loopholes in between the two energy storage systems i.e. batteries and supercapacitors along with the polymeric waste management by adopting concept of science for everyone. In this project proposal we are basically aiming to tailor the tear gaps of the science and society by producing multidimensional innovative technology assistance for the best demonstration regarding the remediation of polymeric waste including waste plastics and tyre waste. The National level leading institutions in the field of waste management and energy storage applications with one of the most promising scientific agency of the Kumaun region in waste management is PRS-Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Centre, Department of Chemistry, Kumaun University, Nainital will definitely give maximum output for the sustainable development of environment and ecology at the same time. The present research proposal is seeking the maximum involvement of all the participating institution for the ground level results. The key point of the present project is related to the "Waste to Energy", where already developed "Universal Waste Upcycling Machine" will be utilized by our implementing partner, Kumaun University, Nainital for the effective disposal of the polymeric waste in form of revenue for the society to generate carbon nanomaterials (CNMs). Further, thus developed CNMs will be utilized as the electrode material in fabrication of energy storage devices including supercapacitors and batteries. In addition to it, these energy storage devices will be optimized for the real time application in light weight electric vehicles which will not only solve the problem of waste management and energy crisis but will also generate the revenue for a circular economy leading towards "Waste to Wealth". | |||
| Beneficiaries/ Stakeholders: | • The PAVITRAM project will directly excel the waste management technologies and will provide unique way to obtain economically sustainable futuristic waste management technology. Along with this it will directly benefit our environment by converting waste materials into useful advanced CNMs as the primary products. This will not only generate good revenue source and technology for government but will also provide some direct environmental benefits. The major beneficiary of the project will be Automobile industry which will enhance its performance by application of waste-based supercapacitors/batteries and obtain higher or equivalent potential of light-weighted electrical vehicles as compared to the traditional ones. While the renovation of waste materials into advanced product will be very good source for enhancement of livelihood options for waste material related workers and following the project material processing industries will be able to obtain good revenue by direct implementation of the technology. |
