Subsequent to the studies on precursor lead-acid systems by Daniel, Grove and Sindesten, practical lead-acid batteries began with the research and inventions of Raymond Gaston Planté in France as early as in 1859, and, ...

Properties of nanocrystals are extremely sensitive to their sizes when their sizes are smaller or of the order of the excitonic diameter due to the quantum confinement effect. The interest in this field has been concentrated ...

Extensive research work was carried out in past few decades to synthesize new compounds with extended structures by employing various organic linkers and metals. A large number of potential applications of these coordination ...

Crystal engineering is defined as “the understanding of intermolecular interactions in the context of crystal packing and in the utilisation of such understanding in the design of new solids with desired physical and ...

High dielectric constant materials have tremendous impact on miniaturization of devices that are used in various applications like wireless communication systems, microelectronics, global positioning systems, etc. To store ...

The work carried out in this thesis systematically investigates the correlation between microstructures and electronic properties of organic semiconductors. The major directions that were pursued in this thesis are: (i) ...

In recent times, as regulations and legislations for exhaust treatment have become more stringent, a major concern in the arena of environmental catalysis is to find new efficient and economical exhaust treatment catalysts. ...
