All-solid-state batteries: Interface modification/engineering of solid electrolytes for enhanced lithium transport properties

Developing high safety Li-ion battery technology is essential for high energy, and long-range applications. However, the current state-of-the-art Li-ion battery technology cannot fulfill the industry requirements due to its theoretical limitations. All solid-state Li-ion batteries (ASSLiB) using inorganic solid-state Li-ion conductors, holds promising features of high energy density, and enhanced safety over conventional Li-ion batteries. […]

To optimize and validate the analytical protocol for recovery of pesticides from water and food samples for further monitoring using dip-and-fold device

Pollution of water and food is a severe concern as a result of the increasing use of pesticides in agricultural areas. Timely testing of these contaminants is critical to ensure the quality and safety of water and food, particularly for people of the local community. Insecticides (carbamates and organophosphates) may be identified fast in water […]

Porous noble metal nanosponge plasmonic photocatalysts

Plasmonic catalysis is an emerging technology which holds the promise of utilizing light to facilitate a chemical transformation. Plasmonic materials interact with incident light through the excitation of localized surface plasmon resonance producing highly energetic electron-hole pairs. These hot electrons and holes are very active and get adsorbed to the materials in their surroundings through […]

Transport Properties of Layered 2D and TMD Materials Based Devices

My doctoral research work is based on the optoelectronic, and transport properties of layered two-dimensional (2D) and transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) materials-based devices. Currently I am fabricating devices and studying their electron transport properties. The next target, to characterize the heat transportation in these devices, can’t be completed at my home institution because it requires […]

Development of quantum dot fluorescent probes/contrast agents

Iron-based nanoparticles can not only be used in sensitizers or absorbers but also retain excellent electrical conductivity, optical, electrical, and magnetic properties. So far, very few synthetic methods are known to implement stable Iron-based nanomaterials. We propose to develop novel synthesis routes to produce QDs. In addition, we plan to develop surface modification processes to […]
