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 Studies of Hydrophobic Force Law, Dynamics in Model Asymmetric Binary Mixtures, and Contribution to One and Two Dimensional Infrared Spectroscopy
Depending on the system and phenomena of interest, the thesis has been partitioned into three major
parts. The first part is on the theoretical infrared spectroscopic studies and vibrational phase relaxation of
supercritical ...
Studies on Mono- and Multi-valent Ion Storage Using Metal Phosphosulfide and Organic Carbonyl Compounds
The present study describes the results on inorganic and organic materials for energy
storage and sensors. It contains eight chapters including introduction, experimental and
summary sections. The first chapter gives ...
Synthesis and Studies of Covalent Polydiacetylene Glycopolymers as Scaffolds to Uncover Intricate Carbohydrate-Protein Interactions
Overall, the Thesis work establishes:
• Monomeric and multimeric ligand-lectin interactions occurring at cell surfaces that could be assessed using purified protein and cellular model system, namely, glycovesicles;
• ...
Thermodynamics of Protein Adsorption on Gold and Silica Nanoparticles
Nanoparticle-based biomedical applications in disease diagnostics, site targeting, drug
delivery, etc., have been pursued vigorously with the hope of finding better solutions than
conventional diagnostics and therapeutics. ...
Studies on Iron(III) Complexes for Cellular Imaging and Targeted Photodynamic Therapy
Cancer is caused by uncontrolled division of abnormal cells. Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy are most widely used for its treatment. However, due to serious limitations of these traditional treatment modalities, ...
An Exploration of Molecular Recognition Mechanisms and Ligand Induced Transitions in Biomolecules
Molecular recognition refers to processes through which biological macromolecules interact with
each other or other small molecules through noncovalent interactions to form specific
complexes. Applying molecular recognition ...
Cp2Ti(III)Cl-Mediated Endo- and Exo-Radical Cyclization: Synthesis of a Tri-nor-guaiane Sesquiterpene Isoclavukerin A, Terpenoid Bicyclic Lactones and Synthetic Studies Towards the Total Synthesis of Scabrolide A
Radical cyclization strategy always gives an expedient access to complex molecular scaffolds present in many bioactive natural products. In this research work, a systematic study is undertaken to investigate the less ...
Transition in the Conformational Ensemble of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins: Implications for Phase Separation and Aggregation
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are enriched with charged and polar residues and lack a unique three-dimensional structure. Due to the high fraction of charged residues, IDPs are disordered and dynamic, transitioning ...
Growth and Characterization of Single crystalline VO2 Heterostructures
Vanadium dioxide is a strongly correlated material with a temperature driven metal-to-insulator transition (MIT) near room temperature (~340 K). This electronic transition is accompanied by a structural transition from ...
