Developing highly conductive concrete and concrete supercapacitors using local materials and waste. One type incorporates carbon (Carbon-Based Concrete Supercapacitor), while the other utilizes red mud (Red Mud-Based Concrete Supercapacitor). The team developed conductive concrete and supercapacitors using carbon and red mud, both of which exhibited strong performance and stability.

The IRC-CBM and IRC-HES teams are developing structural supercapacitors as part of Project INCB-2204, funded by IRC-CBM. We are the first to utilize red mud in concrete supercapacitors, pioneering the concept ahead of MIT.

Developing new ways to power smart buildings and promote eco-friendly construction worldwide, utilizing waste materials as building materials to reduce the need for polluting alternatives.
