Alluaudite Battery Chemistry: Design and Exploration
Being one of the most promising technologies in human history, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have empowered our lives since their commercialization in 1991 by SONY®. However, all these applications need massive production ...
Designing Metallo-Supramolecular Assemblies for Biomimetic Catalysis and Environmental Sustainability
Molecular self-assembly is ubiquitous in nature and plays a vital role in the emergence and maintenance of life. For example, DNA strands self-assemble into a double helix that stores genetic information. Likewise, ...
Insights into Structure-Property Relationships via First Principles and Machine Learning Approaches
The increasing concerns about a sustainable future demand accelerated design and development of new materials with enhanced properties. The process of material development immensely depends on the structure-to-property ...
Electron Microscopy Investigations on Solution Grown Stannous Oxide Nanosheets
In this thesis, motivated by the possibility of studying rich scientific phenomena using morphology controlled single crystals, experimental observation of new features in the growth and structure of layered oxide materials ...
Accelerated Search of Catalysts Using Density Functional Theory and Machine Learning
The need for clean and renewable energy resources has propelled the interest in designing new catalysts producing energy from renewable resources and alternate cleaner fuels such as hydrogen, methane, ammonia, ethylene, ...
Electronic, Magnetic and Local structure of Some Selected Strongly Correlated Systems
According to independent electron band structure theories, transition metal oxides (TMOs) with partially filled 3d valence band are predicted to be metallic in nature. Though in reality, most of them are insulators. Mott ...
Metal Ion Mediated Riboswitch Folding and Cognate Ligand Sensing
Riboswitches are noncoding RNA molecules that can control gene expression upon cognate ligand binding. Riboswitches are primarily present in bacteria and are crucial for bacteria's survival, which makes riboswitches ...
Enabling Lithium Metal Anode for Garnet Electrolyte based Solid State Batteries
Solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLMB) employing inorganic solid electrolytes (ISE) in conjunction with lithium metal anode and intercalation cathode are considered among the most promising alternatives for Li-ion ...
Computational Modeling of two Dimensional Heterostructures for Optoelectronic and Catalytic Applications
Two-dimensional van der Waals (2D-vdW) materials have attracted significant attention for their unique and excellent properties. The properties of the 2D-vdW materials can be precisely engineered using various techniques ...
Cocrystallization Studies Extending from Small Molecules to Proteins: a) Cocrystals, Salts and Eutectics, b) Chemical, Structural and Biological Evaluation of Anthrapyrazolones as Inhibitors of JNK proteins
In summary, we have designed and synthesized three halogenated derivatives of 1,9-
pyrazoloanthrone. The involvement of halogen bonding provides highly directional
interactions in the binding pocket and hence demonstrates ...
