Research Interest

A.    Electrocatalysis wherein we are firstly focusing on Investigating various structural aspects of the catalysts on their catalytic performance. The structural aspects studied are crystal structure and nature of exposed surfaces. In addition, we also focus on studying the effect of electrical polarization on their catalytic performance. The second aspect studied is the effect of orientation/ordered assembly on a solid substrate on their catalytic performance. 

B.    Understanding the nucleation and growth of nanostructured materials using SAXS

C. The effect of ordered assemblies on the optical and electronic properties is also being investigated.

D. Development of periodic ordered assemblies of nanostructures based SERS substrate for sensing of biomolecules.
