Transition metal phosphide nanostructures encapsulated in N,P co doped nanotubes for water splitting in wide pH range
In order to make clean and sustainable energy conversion, systems primarily requires the development of highly efficient and robust catalysts. One of the main challenges for designing the catalysts is to minimize the cost ...
Nonequilibrium dynamics and thermodynamics of some single-particle activity-induced diffusive systems
In the mesoscopic world, diffusion is a ubiquitous process and it is usually explained by the
Einstein’s theory of Brownian motion (BM). However, in the biological systems, some peculiar
dynamical behaviors are observed ...
Vanadium Dioxide: Bulk and Thin Films for Device Applications
In the present era, energy consumption is more than the energy that is generated for which renewable as well as non-renewable sources are used. In order overcome this lag, researchers are developing smart materials ...
Exploration of exfoliation, functionalization and properties of MXenes via first-principles and machine learning
The monolayers of early transition metal carbides and carbonitrides named MXenes are exfoliated from the corresponding bulk MAX phases (Mn+1AXn, M = early transition metal, A = group IIIA or IVA element and X = carbon ...
Towards high quality V2O5 and VO2 thin films for gas sensing, smart windows and optoelectronic applications
The global demand for improved living standards coupled with rising pollutant or hazardous gases levels, safety and security demands have led to increased demand for miniaturized gas sensors and photodetectors. Production ...
Methylammonium Lead Iodide thin lms grown by Pulsed Laser Deposition for Photodetector Applications
This thesis studies the fabrication and characterization of Methylammonium Lead Iodide perovskite thin films for photodetector applications. Unlike, any other perovskite halide material, Methylammonium Lead Iodide perovskite ...
Synthetic Applications of C-2 Substituted Glucal
This report concerns the development of a synthetic approach towards synthesis of seven-membered septanosides, such as, substituted oxepanes from protected 2-hydroxyglycals. Important precursors to the synthesis of the ...
Carbon aerogel supported first-row transition metal catalysts for methanolyis of ammonia borane
Ni-Ni3B, Co-B, and Co-Ni-B nanocomposites decorated on carbon aerogel were successfully synthesized by adopting the solution impregnation method. The nanocomposites were characterized by powder XRD, transmission electron ...
Vibrational Spectroscopic studies of Dynamics of BSA unfolding, Lysozyme-Ethanol interaction and Tissue Imaging
Vibrational spectroscopy has served as a powerful tool for understanding various structural properties of the molecules since decades. In the recent years, it has also emerged as an invaluable tool in understanding various ...
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 ...
