Motivation

Laws of nature chains every piece of information from subatomic to macro scale. The soul of science is to find out this logical chain. Following this simple logic, our research is dedicated to probe materials down to sub Å regime to correlate with different materials properties using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The goal of our research is focused on the proper interpretation of the data acquired using TEM because the deconvolution of the original information is at the heart of the research. 

Our research focuses on developing advanced functional materials for sustainable energy and environmental applications. We investigate MAX phases and their 3D derivative MXenes for hydrogen evolution, solid state hydrogen storage, carbon dioxide capture, gas separation, and sensing. We also utilize 3D printing of MAX phases, MXenes and their composites to fabricate optimized electrode architectures with enhanced capacitive performance for next-generation supercapacitors. By integrating materials synthesis, characterization, property study and application-driven research, we aim to develop scalable solutions for energy storage and environmental technologies.
