Research Interest
Growth, Characterisation and Application of Nanostructured Materials in form of Thin Films, Particles, Sheets, Rods and Wires. Such materials as Cadmium Telluride, Cadmium Sulphide, Titanium Oxide, Copper Phthalocyanine, Cuprous Oxide, Copper (II) Oxide, Zinc Oxide, Tin Oxide and Gallium Oxide in the development/fabrication of photovoltaic devices, sensors and for photocatalytic activity on organic pollutants. Bioelectronics with our focus on Organic Electrochemical transistors (OECTs) We worked on Organic Electrochemical Transistors (OECTs) using Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with poly(styrene-sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), which is a well-known highly conducting and optically transparent polymer material. The PEDOT:PSS was embedded in/on cotton fibres and used as the Gate and Channel of a Transistor Sensor for sensing application and Preparation of Lithium Manganese Oxide Li2MnO3 for fabrication of Cathode electrode in development of a Lithium Ion Battery and for photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes such as Emio Chrome Black T..
