Project Overview

Nanomaterials are crucial in research due to their optical, electrical, and chemical properties. Synthesis strategies can be top-down or bottom-up, with nanostructured materials produced using various methods. They have various industrial applications in energy, electronics, cosmetics, sensors, medicine, water treatment, and food industry. Sustainable goals include improving renewable energy efficiency, such as solar cells. Photovoltaic research is focusing on thin film and nanomaterials-based solar cells, with ternary materials like CuZnS, CuSnS, and CuSbS being promising candidates. Fluorescent nanomaterials are also being explored for light-emitting applications.

This project aims to develop chemical sensors using fluorescent nanomaterials like metal oxide nanoparticles, quantum dots, and polymers to detect contaminants in water. The project also focuses on improving nutrition and synthesis of functional materials from abundant agro waste resources. The goal is to synthesize novel nanomaterials for LED and solar cell applications, detect poisonous chemicals, determine nonlinear efficiency of nano materials, perform DFT-based simulations, fabricate devices using synthesized nanostructured materials, and evaluate the antimicrobial, antioxidant, and food additive properties of nanocellulose. The project aims to achieve sustainable development goals and reduce environmental impact.
