Our research at CSIR-IMMT mainly focuses towards
​
-
development of nanostructured and 2D heterostructured materials for hydrogen, ammonia generation, carbon dioxide capture and utilization, energy storage and fuel cell applications.
​
-
Photo(electro)catalytic applications and understanding of various surface reactions (e.g. hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen reduction, carbon dioxide reduction, methanol oxidation etc.)
​
-
Non aqueous electrochemical systems
​​
-
Reaction mechanisms at electrode/electrolyte interface by using electrochemical and spectroscopic techniques.
