Research Area \ Research Statement \ Research Group Info

We in our research group are working on the design and development of novel strategies, electrode and electrolyte systems for fuel cell, bulk scale electro/photoelectron-synthesis and electrochemical sensing applications. For the electrocatalytic materials we are currently working on the design and functionalization of graphene and metal organic framework (MOF)  based materials for electrocatalytic materials. In our efforts for the design of electrocatalytic electrolytes we have been working on the design and use of room temperature ionic liquids and surface active ionic liquids (SAILs) for electrochemical investigations and applications. A new addition to our research interests is our desire to make use of electrochemistry for diagnostic and sensing applications wherein we wish to make use of electrochemical methods for detection and quantification of  both redox active as well as redox inactive biomaromolecules (ENZYMES, DNA, Antibodies) , Viruses and besides following the metabolic state of living cells.

The main focus of our research work is the use of electrochemistry, functional nanomaterials and Ionic Liquids to address the various Energy, Environment, Health and Material Production related challenges critical for our well-being and future generations.
