Design & development of photoactive materials for visible light photocatalysis (without expensive co-catalysts), ZnO:InN oxynitride has been explored for the first time as a UV-visible light active photocatalyst with significant H2 generation (without co-catalyst). Significant photoresponse/hydrogen generation with promising solar energy harvesting applications by ZnIn2S4 hierarchical structures/heterostructures. H2 production, degradation of organic pollutants [Four publications in Scientific Reports, Nature publications], photodetectors etc.
The Centre for Energy Storage Technologies [CEST] is one of the leading research centres on all aspects of electrical energy storage in India. The CEST is primarily emphasis on the Development of electrochemical energy storage devices with high power density including battery, supercapacitors and Power Dense Devices. The CEST Centre was formed in 2022 to bring together the campus-wide expertise in energy storage, foster collaboration, and provide a focal point for research and education activities.
