Research Interests


•Nanoporous BCN and their hybrids for energy storage applications
Borocarbonitride (BCN) and it’s hybrids with various functional materials such as graphene, C60, FeS, and other materials. The porosity in the BCN structure along with tunable band gap, high chemical and mechanical stability play a key role in its application for supercapacitors, Li-ion batteries, and Na-ion batteries.

 
•Functionalised carbon materials for environmental and energy applications
 Carbon nanomaterials synthesized through the use of biomass precursors as a sustainable approach to obtain high surface area materials. These are also functionalized with various heteroatoms to increase their active sites and used for CO2 capture, conversion and in energy storage for supercapacitors and batteries. 

•2D materials and their 0D analogues for cancer theranostics 
2D materials such as graphene, MoS2, WS2, MXene utilized for biomedical applications by enhancing their biocompatibility and dispersibility in aqueous media. These are highly useful as they possess high surface area, are photoactive, and can be differentiated based on their size. The quantum dots are produced by breaking them down to extremely small size (<10 nm) which can then be used as multimodal tools for biosensing, bioimaging, photothermal therapy and as drug loading carriers.
