regenerative braking

i am currently working on my diploma project..i have decided to make an regenerative braking working model

concept is to use a dc motor to drive a wheel using belt drive. cutting the power supply of motor while braking.

while braking; the motor will keep rotating in the same direction with wheel until its stopped completely. the plan is to use this rotation of motor to generate electricity.

my questions are;

is it possible to generate electricity with same direction of rotation of motor as it was while power supply was on. if yes; then how?

it will be helpful if anyone can tell me which circuits i will need to make.

There are loads of publications on this.
Here is a Google Scholar search:
