Abstract

This study seeks to investigate patterns of scientific discovery, publication expansion, technology dissemination on sustainable energy through nanomaterials in Bangladesh between 1994 and 2023. It further examines the co-variability in innovation index, research productivity, adoption rate, simulation accuracy and impact across time to uncover bottlenecks and future development of sustainable energy solutions by means of nanomaterials [1,10]. We employ quantitative time-series analysis on annual data of the Innovation Index, Research Output, Adoption Rate, Simulation Accuracy and Impact Score. Statistical approaches including correlation, decomposition analysis, and regression modelling examine the relationships between research output, adoption, and impact [5,12]. We also study epochs of rapid innovation and adoption and the delay from basic research advances to real world results [11]. Results reveal even though Bangladesh has high II certain years such as (1995, 1998, 2019, and 2023), that does not necessarily mean it also has a high Adoption Rate or Impact Score. Even while simulation is accurate, research-simulated results can potentially be weak due to lack of adoption [13]. Some years with high correspondence between host and vaccine strain (e.g., 1999, 2003, 2014, and 2020) also have not resulted in widespread adoption [14]. A regression analysis shows a greater predictive power of Impact with Regression 2 among other factors than Research Output alone [15]. We note here lag effects, and that advancements in better simulations typically lead to propagation of the new method within 1-3 years [2]. To accelerate the application of nanomaterials-based sustainable energy in Bangladesh, policies should target more on technology transfer, scaling experiments, pilot plants and regulatory incentives and capacity building as opposed to only innovation [2,6]. It is also critical that simulation fidelity be enhanced to enable translation of lab scale progress to on an order performance [7]. This paper offers a map to policy makers (researchers, technicians and decision makers) showing where they invest their effort to prioritize investment and action areas as well as help in predicting future impacts of nanomaterials when they mature in the sustainable energy sector in Bangladesh [8,3].
