I've worked through this question all night long and found out this helpful.

Then I solved it like this:

Controller

public function home()
{
    $researches = Research::all();
    foreach ($researches as $research){
        $download_links[] = json_decode($research->attachment);
    }
    $departments = Department::all();
    $role_id = \TCG\Voyager\Models\Role::all()->where('name','=','student')->first()->id;
    $students = User::all()->where('role_id','=',$role_id);
    return view('Research.home', compact('researches','departments','students','download_links'));
}

View

{{ $i=0 }}
                @foreach($researches as $research)

                    <div class="row">
                        <div class="col-md-10">
                            <button data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#demo{{ $research->id }}" class="btn border text-start form-control" title="click to read abstract">[ {{ ucwords($research->title) }} ] By: {{ $research->user->name }} @if($research->user->student != null) {{ $research->user->student->last_name }} @else {{ $research->user->employee->last_name }}@endif</button>
                        </div>
                        <div class="col">
                            <a href="{{ Voyager::image($download_links[$i++][0]->download_link) }}" download target="_blank" class="btn  btn-outline-info form-control">Download</a>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                    <div id="demo{{ $research->id }}" class="collapse row border">
                        <div class="col-md-12 ">{!! $research->description !!}</div>
                    </div>

                @endforeach

and now is working properly.

public function download($id) {
    $research= Research::where('id', $id)->firstOrFail();
    $pathToFile = storage_path('fileName'  . $research->file);
    return response()->download($pathToFile);
}
