A Few Applications of Porous Materials in Biology and Environment
The present thesis discusses the beneficial effects of confining biologically relevant molecules inside porous structures of varying morphology and dimensions. Confinement of a biomolecule such as protein, enzymes drugs ...
Methodological Developments in NMR for Chiral Analysis using Selective Excitation
The NMR spectroscopy as usually practiced in isotropic achiral solvents is unable to differentiate enantiomers, unless the intermolecular diastereomeric interactions are imposed with an enantiomerically pure reagent. Chiral ...
Investigations of Chalcogen-Cathodes and a Carbonitride-Anode for Alkali-Based Rechargeable Batteries
In this thesis, we have attempted to understand the working principle of Li(Na)-S(Se) battery
and following such understandings we have attempted towards the design of various S(Se)-
cathode materials for the alkali based ...
A Study of Photophysics and Photochemistry of I-III-VI2 Nanocrystals
This thesis, entitled “A Study of Photophysics and Photochemistry of I-III-VI2 Nanocrystals” primarily deals with the properties of I-III-VI2 semiconductor nanocrystals composed of earth abundant, environmentally benign ...
Mechanistic Understanding of Organic Solar Cells: A Detailed Investigation on Role of Förster Resonance Energy Transfer, Dielectric Constant and Exciton Dynamics
Organic solar cells (OSC) have been emerging as promising energy harvesting technology because of their low-cost fabrication, semitransparency, solution processability and ability to be produced in large scale using ...
Development of Novel NMR Methodology and Investigation of Challenging Chemical Problems
The thesis is entitled as "Development of Novel NMR Methodology and Investigation of Challenging Chemical Problems ". The research work reported in this thesis is mainly carried out in two directions. The initial focus ...
Modeling Magnetic Anisotropy in Single Chain Magnets
This thesis embodies work on modeling magnetic anisotropy in molecular magnets. Understanding the factors that govern the magnitude of anisotropy in these materials is crucial for tailoring molecules that can be used in ...
Investigating the Role of Domain Swapping in Aggregation of Globular Proteins
The broad objective of this thesis involves computationally modeling protein aggregation with special emphasis on the role of cosolvents and misfolded states. Chapter 1 contrasts the effect of biologically relevant co-solvents ...
Transport, Relaxation and Line shape in Quantum Dissipative Systems with Applications to Photosynthesis and Conjugated Polymers
The thesis entitled as “Transport, Relaxation and Line shape in Quantum Dissipative Systems with Applications to Photosynthesis and Conjugated Polymers” has been divided into five major parts and ten chapters.
In Part ...
Harvesting Solar Photon Using TiO2-CdS Nanostructured Semiconductor Assemblies
Abstract
The present Thesis discusses various Titanium dioxide (TiO2) - Cadmium Sulfide (CdS) assemblies for efficient harvesting of the solar photon. Inorganic semiconductor nanocrystals such as CdS have attracted ...
