The Giri Research Group
We are focusing on the synthesis and development of nanomaterials as photocatalysts used for electrochemical and biological sensing, and for catalytic applications. Pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs)-metal chelates formation and their impact on the mineralization efficiency and reduction of antimicrobial activity also gives new flavors in our present work. Our efforts are also directed towards the production of green hydrogen (H2) and value-added products through both photo-electrochemical water splitting and biomass conversion.
