Multidisciplinary Chemistry
My research interest is in the area of solution synthesis of functional inorganic materials especially oxides both in the form of bulk and thin films and exploring their application as heterogeneous catalysts in biodiesel synthesis, components of solid oxide fuel cells, visible light activated photocatalysts for hydrogen generation by splitting of water, ceramic pigments and magneto-resistant materials. The synthetic techniques of interest to me are Hydrothermal, Regenerative Sol-Gel, Matrix Tra
