- CO2 Conversion
Development of catalyst-supported and unsupported metal oxides catalysts. Synthesis of the silica-supported metal oxide catalysts for comparison. Exploring the active carbide phase of the metal composite Surface Raman studies of the defects of the metal-supported catalysts. The development of effective methane combustion catalysts would have a significant impact on a number of energy-based technologies. - Solar Cells
The development of a successful solar-fuel-generation technology would require the invention of new photoactive materials that accomplish the combined tasks of light harvesting, charge separation, and compartmentalized chemical transformations. - Metal Corrosion
The corrosion inhibition of metal in aqueous media in presence and absence of some inhibitors has been investigated using mass-loss and polarization techniques. The adsorption of these inhibitors on metal surface follows by SEM. - Charge-Transfer Compounds
Studies of donor and acceptor charge transfer properties has been investigated spectrophotometrically in solvent at 25 ◦C. The reaction was studied using electronic, infrared, photometric titration and cyclic voltametric measurements. - Computational
Computational study of the reaction mechanisms and factors that influence selectivity in chemical reactions. We use computational chemistry to predict IR and UV-vis spectra. We aim at designing photonic materials with applications in photobiology, photomedicine and solar energy conversion devices.
